[WSBAPT] Estate Tax ID with non-citizen PRs

[Timothy Lehr]

All,

I have a new probate wherein the Co-PRs are both Canadian citizens. My office is the registered agent for the probate. Does anyone know how best to obtain a Tax ID number for the Estate when the IRS is requesting a SSN or EIN for the responsible party? The responsible party is usually the PR themselves but they don't have either being non-citizens. Is it wise to use my firm's EIN number since we are the registered agent?

Thanks,

Timothy C. Lehr
