[WSBAPT] two practice questions

[Philip N. Jones]

I believe that a Washington attorney can give advice about the laws of other states, but it is often (usually?) not advisable.  I believe the same applies to preparing deeds, but I seem to have heard that some states do not allow it.
So, being conservative, I do not do it.

Subject: [WSBAPT] two practice questions

Hello,

Curious about a few practice points:


  1.  Do you consider drafting a deed in another state (which you are not licensed in) practicing law in that jurisdiction?



  1.  In opening probates, where you have to put numbers down to show solvency, do you only put estimates based on unsecured assets and net values of secured assets?  Or some other practice?

Thanks.
