[WSBAPT] affidavit of non probate

[Jamia Burns]

She would fill out the affidavit of probate, but it is not filed. She
presents the bank with a copy. They may be unwilling to hand over the
money, since she has not been appointed as custodian. The guardian for the
children, once established, may need to fill out the affidavit.

Respectfully,

Jamia S. Burns
