[WSBAPT] What Probate Does to (was to be ex) Wife's ability to Sell

[Jeff at bellanddavispllc.com]

Listmates:

 

Wife files for divorced.  H dies just before divorced finalized.  Wife, then
uses a Small Estate Affidavit to take H's bank account, she also lists
community house for sale.  H had executed a new Will mentioning the divorce
and leaving all to daughter.  We've told the realtor of the Will and fact
daughter will be PR and once appointed will control the community property
including the house.  Realtor seems nonplussed and is proceeding ahead.
Estate will open this afternoon.  Have any of you run into this; what are
the best ways to stop the realtor and the Wife from proceeding?
