[WSBAPT] Ancillary Probate

[Philip N. Jones]

Are you referring to real property?
I'd be surprised if you can transfer title to WA real property from a WA probate to an out-of-state probate.
Way down here in Oregon, our statutes are similar: no mention of ancillary probate.  A probate is a probate is a probate, and an ancillary probate is required to operate (and distribute) just like a regular probate.  To the beneficiaries, not to a PR of an out-of-state probate.
You might be able to distribute cash or other personal property to an out-of-state probate.  Maybe.  But not real property.
That's my best guess.  I would be happy to be corrected.

Much to my surprise, there is nothing in the resources I have examined that specifically addresses ancillary probate in Washington.  If anyone could share how standard procedure might be modified to address the situation where we are simply trying to transfer title of Washington property to a PR appointed in another state, I'd be grateful for your input.
