[WSBAPT] WA Publish Notice to Creditors

I have never heard of publishing a Washington state notice to creditors in a
different State.  Assuming you publish in the decedent's Idaho County of
residence, would that have the effect of cutting off creditors in Idaho?
Would Idaho court's give full faith and credit to Washington's 4 month
cutoff period?

No probate in Idaho and since he was driving a vehicle in WA - probate is
open in WA and is only probate opened.

He has no connection to King County, correct.  I agree Clallam may be best
way to reach possible creditors.  

Has anyone published in Idaho (or another state) with a WA probate notice to
creditors?

Dalyanne,

 

If he was residing in Idaho, wouldn't the Washington probate be ancillary?
Will there be a probate in Idaho?  Also, I know we can probate anywhere in
our state, not just in the county of residence, but if his wife is in Port
Angeles, does that mean he also lived in Clallam County?  If so, publishing
in the Peninsula Daily News maybe better to informing unknown creditors than
in King County.  I gather he had no connection to King?

Subject: [WSBAPT] WA Publish Notice to Creditors

 

I have an estate in which the decedent was killed in an auto collision in WA
and I've opened probate in King county.  Decedent had Idaho driver's
license.  His wife resided in Port Angeles, Clallam County, but he had left
the state and was living in Idaho before he died.  Wife does not know about
his debts, so I was going to publish Notice to Creditors.  My reading of
statute is to publish in King County but wonder if anyone has published in
another state as well?  

 

He did not live with his wife in Clallam County so RCW 11.40.020 (2) does
not seem to apply:
