[WSBAPT] bond procedure

[Andrekita Silva]

  Michael,
 
I’m not sure if this is your first email or if there was an earlier  
email with more context. If no one else has answered, in the past when  
my PR has had to secure a bond, I have secured only ONE order which  
establishes probate, finds the estate solvent, appoints the PR ,  
orders the amount of bond, and order letters to be issued to PR.
            Even though the PR is appointed by the order, the CLERK  
will not issue letters until it receives the PR’s oath and the  
original bond.  I’m pretty sure I don’t recall a bonding company  
requiring a certified copy of the order appointing PR etc., I can’t  
remember if the bonding company requires an original signature on the  
bond application or if I was able to send them a scanned copy of the  
application. You can call the bonding company to verify what their  
requirements, though.
I’m pretty sure the CLERK will not accept a copy of the bond, but  
requires the original. I have used Griffin MacLean Insurance Brokers.  
I believe they do this all the time and I’ve never been asked for any  
particular language.
