Assuming King County, I have done the former. The biggest trick is getting
the Will pulled and in front of the commissioner once it has been filed as a
Will Only.

If you open probates by mail or some other variation of ex-parte via the
clerk it may not be too difficult, but in-person it was a bunch of waiting
for it to be pulled and hand carried down to ex-parte.

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
