[WSBAPT] validity of Washington Will for BC property

[Kate Gamble]

Can a Washington will validly dispose of real property located in British
Columbia without the need for a separate Washington domiciliary will and a
BC supplemental will?  It appears that the BC Wills, Estates & Succession
Act allows for the foreign will to be ³resealed² for ancillary probate in
BC, and that all US states are ³prescribed jurisdictions² that can have
their grants of letters resealed in the BC courts.  Other than specifically
describing the BC real property in a specific bequest, are there any other
requirements in order for the Washington will to be recognized by the BC
probate court?

Thanks in advance for your shared wisdom!
