[WSBAPT] Discovery of will after intestate probate opened

[Dalynne Singleton]

I recently had this happen.  Review RCW 11.28.150.
You file the amended petition in the same cause with the Will.  The court revokes the letters of administration and issues letters testamentary.

RCW 11.28.150<http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=11.28.150>
Revocation of letters by discovery of will.
If after letters of administration are granted a will of the deceased be found and probate thereof be granted, the letters shall be revoked and letters testamentary or of administration with the will annexed, shall be granted.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Discovery of will after intestate probate opened

Good morning,

We have a client who is the administrator for her father's intestate estate. She is nearing the end of probate and discovered her father's will when cleaning out his house.

Which documents need to be filed to get the will probated and keep her on as PR without holding up the process? The distributions are the same (to her and 2 siblings). I can't find the RCW or mechanics of doing this online. Thanks.

Sincerely,

Suzanne Lieberman
