Subject: [WSBAPT] Converting a will-only filing to a probate

Listmates,

I have a super-basic question for a situation I have simply not encountered before:  What is the process for converting a will-only filing into a probate?  Do I file the probate under the same cause number and pay the probate filing fee, or do I file a new case and move to merge them, or what?

I'm not finding the answer in the statute or in my probate policy & procedure manual and I don't know where else to look.

Many thanks in advance,
Sara
