[WSBAPT] Obtaining Original Will from Out-of-state Will Repository.

[Laura Latta]

Hello Listmates,

I wonder if any of you will be willing to share your thoughts or experience
in getting an original will from a will repository in another state court.

When the testator passes away, the court in question will only:

1) Provide certified or exemplified copies;

2) File the will in THAT COURT to open probate;  and/or

3) Send the original will directly to the court of another state upon a
request directly from another court.

Apparently, #3 is typically done by email from the clerk of the court, but
I’m flummoxed as to how I would get the Clerk of a Washington court to
email the other state clerk.

Here in Washington, I am aware of procedures for probating an exemplified
copy *when probate is open in another state*. I am aware of procedures for
probating a copy of a *lost or destroyed will*. Neither of these appear to
be a fit.

Does anyone have experience with this issue?

Warmly,

Laura
