[WSBAPT] Ancillary Probate

[Mark Vohr]

Robert - you are correct.  Washington law and procedure does not treat ancillary probates any differently.  You would simply petition here in Washington, with the only property subject to probate being the Washington situs real property.  The petition would certainly reference the foreign probate, and the appointment there, but otherwise the procedure is the same.

You will definitely want to petition for non-intervention powers, as the foreign will likely does not grant them.  That will require notice, but should not otherwise be a problem  assuming the estate is solvent.

Regards,

Mark

Subject: [WSBAPT] Ancillary Probate

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.
