[WSBAPT] Question re: Estate Bank Account

[Mike Winslow]

If that does not work, consider opening a special trust account with
attorney having signature authority and using the estate TIN. Lawyers have
the legal ability to open interest  bearing trust accounts specifically for
funds of a single client. PR would not have signing authority over the
funds, but this would be a suitable work around.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Question re: Estate Bank Account
 
Hi listmates. I would appreciate some assistance here on a probate.
 
PR is not a U.S. citizen, and does not reside in the U.S. There's a WA
resident agent. We'd like to open up an estate bank account, having the
resident agent do it because the PR isn't here. We've approached several
banks, and no bank will open up the account unless the PR personally comes
in to do it. 
 
Have any of you ever dealt with this situation? If so, were you able to find
a bank that would open up the account? Which bank? PR is, obviously, happy
to sign whatever is needed. She just doesn't want to travel to the United
States for the sole purpose of opening the account.
 
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
