[WSBAPT] Can a Canadian Citizen be a Witness to a Washington Will

[Jeff at bellanddavispllc.com]

Listmates:

 

This is a snow issue!  Clients really want to sign their Wills today,
although there is a lot of snow on the ground and more coming.  My usual
second witness cannot make it in.  Available is a visitor from Canada.  Can
that person witness?  The statute just says a Will must be witnessed by two
"competent" people.  It says nothing about them being US citizens or even a
resident.  Have any of you dealt with the problem.
