Happy Monday list folk!

PC is a married couple with two careers. One of them has taken a job
working for a company in the great state of Oregon. There is a home
purchase, change of voter registration - the works. Spouse 1 is an Oregon
resident. This is because their employer requires 3 days of "in office"
work.

Spouse 2 works here in the great state of Washington. Has maintained the
home in the Seattle area because their employer requires in-office work for
two weeks per month. So Spouse 2 has just kept their status as a Washington
resident.

I have never come across such a situation - is the answer that Spouse 1
needs to have an Estate Planning package done under the state where they
reside and then the same for Spouse 2?

Thank you!
Brent
