[WSBAPT] Closing Guardianship/Opening Probate?

[Candace Wilkerson]

Hi Erin,

I have done one before (guardianship then probate).  The probate case is under a new case number, so you need to open a new case.

Best,
Candace Wilkerson

Subject: Re: [WSBAPT] Closing Guardianship/Opening Probate?

Dear Friends,

I think I’m on the right track…but, would love confirmation.

Guardianship is being closed due to death.  From the pattern forms, it looks like I can open the probate at the same time.  When I mail the will in to the clerk for filing, is the Guardianship Case number the same as the probate case number?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Erin
