[WSBAPT] mom passes away, then dad

[Tom J. Westbrook]

Hello Jenna,

 

It has been my practice to open one in both names; has always worked in Thurston County. Only issue is the IRS is no longer issuing one TIN for a 2 party estate, so it is a little harder to get the TIN issued for both, but it can be done with persistence. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Tom

Subject: [WSBAPT] mom passes away, then dad

 

Hello listmates,

 

I have a client who came in for a probate because his dad passed away.  His dad had a will.  I found out that his mother passed away a year earlier.  She had no will, there is no community property agreement, or no documents whatsoever for her.  

 

The property is under both the dad's and the mother's name (not owned with joint right of survivorship).  All the property goes to the son in the dad's will. 

 

Would you recommend doing two probates, one for the mother and one for the father?
