[WSBAPT] PR Authority In Other State

[Jacob Menashe]

The bank is saying they want a letter from the lawyer that the Washington authority is enforceable in Oregon. I’m not sure what that means, but is that something a lawyer can say? Other than the same other state and the same national bank, I don’t think I’ve seen this problem. Maybe there is something special about setting up an estate account versus using the PR authority to move an account? Haven’t we all, many times, used the Washington authority to take actions on accounts in other states, including at banks without a presence here? Anything further on this will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jacob

This is unfortunate to hear.  Over the years, I have had a number of PRs open estate bank accounts in their home states without a problem.  Sounds like those days may be over.

I recently had an executor in California and Chase bank made them come to Washington to open an estate bank account, even though it is a national bank! I have never had that issue before. Now I am encouraging all out of state executors to plan to be in town long enough to get the Letters and open an estate bank account before they leave.

Same. In such cases we advise the client to open an estate account with a bank that operates in WA and also the state they reside, but to actually go to a branch in WA to do so.

Jacob,

I have found that my Oregon PRs have to open estate accounts in Washington, either when they are in town dealing with the estate anyway, or a special trip into Vancouver.

Subject: [WSBAPT] PR Authority In Other State

A branch of a large national bank in Oregon is saying before they’ll open an estate account they want a letter from the PR’s lawyer (me) saying the Washington court authority is enforceable in Oregon. Has anybody dealt with this? I’ve heard rumblings of this before, and we solved it a different way, but I figured folks out there have faced this issue and may have words of wisdom for me. (I likely won’t see replies when sent because I’m out of the country and 10 hours ahead, but that doesn’t mean responses won’t be appreciated!)

Thanks!

Jacob
