Subject: [WSBAPT] Executing Will Out of State

 

Greetings - 

 

I have a client who saw the turn of the weather and decided to head south to their winter home before we got together to execute their new Will. 

 

I am not seeing anything that would invalidate a Will, executed by a Washington resident, while they happen to be out of state, by an out of state notary and witnesses. 

 

Have I missed something? This is a situation where there are decisions made that will likely draw the ire of some individuals and I wanted to ensure there is no room for challenges.
