Dalynn,

I have done this.  Just let me know if you'd like to talk.  And the answer to your question should be yes.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Will in WA, potential client in Philippines

I have a potential client in the Philippines.  She is a recent widow and her husband was living in WA for the past 7 years.  She wants to sign a POA to the former caregiver of her husband in order to retain me as counsel on her behalf.  The caregiver would then sign my fee agreement pay the retainer for the widow.  If anyone has experience in representing an out of country widow in a probate in WA, I would love to speak with you.  The widow does not understand English well and the caregiver will also act as an interpreter.

One big question:  If the widow never lived in WA but the husband/wife had substantial assets in WA, do the community property rules apply just as they would if both resided here?

Thank you.
