CLERK'S ALERT

 Modified Probate Case Filing Procedures

Due to the continuing COVID-19 changes to our business, new probate petitions should be e-filed and then the original will delivered or mailed to the Clerk for filing. The following is the modified filing process:

Submit the Petition to Probate via the Clerk's efiling application:  https://kingcounty.gov/courts/clerk/documents/efiling<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDAsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA0MDMuMTk3MjQ0MTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2tpbmdjb3VudHkuZ292L2NvdXJ0cy9jbGVyay9kb2N1bWVudHMvZWZpbGluZyJ9.hUzn5qiGUI-shmlJZfR7fAXPHWkK77wwOV77Gb-qzdc/br/77017829116-l>. The eFiling system will assign a case number and provide the ability to pay the filing fee.

Attach a GR 14 cover sheet: https://kingcounty.gov/courts/clerk/forms<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA0MDMuMTk3MjQ0MTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2tpbmdjb3VudHkuZ292L2NvdXJ0cy9jbGVyay9mb3JtcyJ9.7w4cIYv6BAqMg6kS9Kz5qINSidXIig-E0QIIX2onQnA/br/77017829116-l> and write the case number that was assigned at the time of filing onto each will.

Drop off or mail the original will to the clerk's offices in either the King County Courthouse or the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center. The filing slot for original filings is available to use during regular business hours.

Verify the will has been added to the document list in the case using the Clerk's Record's Portal: https://dja-prd-ecexap1.kingcounty.gov/?q=Home<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA0MDMuMTk3MjQ0MTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2RqYS1wcmQtZWNleGFwMS5raW5nY291bnR5Lmdvdi8_cT1Ib21lIn0.1VjYMQUrBc7nS3JHZhHDj9tUBrGDkRx6G6lh2wrHmeo/br/77017829116-l>. This will usually occur within 48 hours of filing the will.

Submit your order(s), oath(s), supporting documents and request for letters electronically through the Ex Parte via the Clerk application: https://kingcounty.gov/courts/clerk/documents/efiling<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA0MDMuMTk3MjQ0MTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2tpbmdjb3VudHkuZ292L2NvdXJ0cy9jbGVyay9kb2N1bWVudHMvZWZpbGluZyJ9.QzSaM5IHm3qCZcWXEgafRFDVBJrDdP_Qrbv92NXPlnE/br/77017829116-l> once the will has been added to the document list.
