[WSBAPT] Transferring Original Will Between Counties

[Judy Nakashima Shoji]

Had to do this many years ago.  Diane is right, the original is not transferred but you should request an exemplified copy (not certified) from Thurston which you'll file in King.

I don’t believe you move the actual original but get a certified and just reference the filing information in our pleading – but I  honestly don’t know why – curious to read other responses.

Greetings All,
 
  
 
What are the thoughts of the listserv hivemind on the best way to transfer a physical, original will filed under a will-only cause in one county (Thurston County) to a second county (King County) for review/admission in a pre-existing probate cause?
 
  
 
Thanks in advance for any thoughts/advice.
 
  
 
Best,
 
-Ian
