[WSBAPT] conflict between Venue Statutes

[Diane J. Kiepe]

Interested in hearing your thoughts:  Open probate in Spokane County and Real Property in another County.

1.         RCW 4.112.010 basically states that where property is located Venue is in the county where the property is located (in this case real estate).  "Actions for the following causes shall be commenced in the county in which the subject of the action, or some part thereof, is situated:
(1) For the recovery of, for the possession of, for the partition of, for the foreclosure of a mortgage on, or for the determination of all questions affecting the title, or for any injuries to real property."

2.         RCW 11.96A.050 - Venue provides - (5) Once letters testamentary or of administration have been granted in the state of Washington, all orders, settlements, trials, and other proceedings under this title must be had or made in the county in which such letters have been granted unless venue is moved as provided in subsection (4) of this section.

Where is Venue in your opinion!
