I’ve only rarely done it—maybe two times. One “con” is that if you do become the PR you can be charged with self-dealing for having written yourself into the will in the first place. PRs can get paid.

I almost never do this, but I have on rare occasions where the person is stuck, in that they don’t have family, or they don’t want to use an agency or company. I have had been appointed PR in these rare circumstances by commissioners in Seattle when starting the probate.

Listmates,
Client has a question as to whether an attorney may be listed as the alternate personal representative in her will. I’ve never run into this question. Off the top of my head, I don’t see a problem with it. Is there a prohibition I’m not aware of?
Thanks in advance,
