[WSBAPT] Transferring Original Will Between Counties

[Nick Pleasants]

I agree with Diane, I don't think the physical will is ever leaving Thurston County. You might check with the King County Clerk if they can file a certified copy of a will from another county, or if it needs to be exemplified. I usually buy exemplified when we are doing ancillary probates, but that is because the other state/country requires it. It's only an extra $10, wouldn't hurt.
Best,
Nick

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
