[WSBAPT] Waiver of Bond

I ran into this exact situation once.  I had the beneficiaries each submit a
very brief declaration stating that: (1) they knew the personal
representative and were comfortable with him being appointed, and (2) they
(the beneficiary) did not think a bond was necessary.  It took a few days to
obtain the declarations, after that - no problem.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Waiver of Bond

 

 

I am handling a new probate where the decedent's will makes no mention of
waiving bond. The will was prepared by a reputable firm in Seattle, so I am
scratching my head, wondering why that was not included. I doubt whether it
was even discussed with the testatrix. One of the two adult daughters is the
executrix. She and sister share equally in the residuary estate after $15k
to each of 4 grandkids (all adults). The statute says that there needs to be
something in the will that evidences the testator's intent to waive bond. Is
there any way to not require bond?
