[WSBAPT] WA ancillary probate for CA domicilary probate

[Suzanne Lieberman]

Hello,

We are opening an ancillary probate for a client whose mother also left
property (1 house) in WA subject to probate. The CA domiciliary probate was
already opened (and recently closed).

Since CA does not have non-intervention powers, should we cite the
Independent Administration of Estates Act, and full authority as was
granted in the original Order for probating the will in California, and
mention the no bond requirement, but not go so far as to say that these are
"equivalent" to non-intervention powers?

I know that WA courts must admit the will if accepted in the
domiciliary jurisdiction, and I was going to mention this in the Will
section. Any other tips would be helpful - thanks.
 .
Best,

Suzanne Lieberman
