[WSBAPT] probate for two

[Josh Grant]

If you have to do a probate ?? then I would do both in one filing and you can do it in any county.. it is the gold standard for title companies.

Subject: [WSBAPT] probate for two

Hi all,

 

Thought I had seen this addressed previously but can’t find the thread.

 

I have a new probate, not opened yet, where husband predeceased wife several years ago. Now, wife has died but there was no community property agreement and husband is still on title on the house. I know some people use a lack of probate affidavit, but I question whether that passes good title. PR of wife’s estate intends to sell the house.

 

I read somewhere about probate with both spouses in the same caption in this circumstance. Not sure whether Snohomish county commissioners would like that, but would rather not open two probates just to transfer things to wife’s estate.

 

Thoughts?
