[WSBAPT] Question about requesting records from Apple and Google

[Candace Wilkerson]

Hello all,

Does anyone know a way around opening a probate to obtain an order for a deceased person's next of kin to obtain records from that person's Icloud and Google accounts?  There was no power of attorney in effect before the person's death, and the Decedent was an adult.  For various reasons, they don't want to open a probate.

And, if there is a way to get around probate, how is such a request initiated; what sort of case needs to be filed?  This would be in King County.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Best,
Candace Wilkerson
