[WSBAPT] Does Washington have jurisdiction?

[Jeff at bellanddavispllc.com]

Listmates:

 

Decedent moved from Washington to Florida in May, 2022.  In Florida,
Decedent executed a new pour-over Will and Living Trust under Florida law.
Decedent dies in July.  No real or personal property in Washington.  There
is one account with Kitsap Bank; all other monies are with a nationwide
bank.  The accounts are still in decedent's name, although he "assigned"
them to his trust.  Successor Trustee lives in Ohio.  Apparently no Florida
attorney will take the probate as Decedent had not officially changed his
address to Florida.  Does Washington have jurisdiction to probate Decedent's
estate?  Does there need to be a Washington (ancillary) probate for the one
account?
