[WSBAPT] Question - Assignment of Interest Inquiry

[Kjersti Stroup]

*Here is the scenario*: Father died in NY, leaving assets equally to his
son and daughter. Son then dies intestate in WA, and his heir is his
sister. The father owned a house in NY that will go 50% to the daughter and
50% to the son's estate. However, the daughter is assigning her half of the
house to a family friend and wants to assign the half she would inherit
from the son's estate to this family friend (she is taking liquid assets
but appears to not want the house).

*Questions*: (1) How would you suggest handling that? Can I do an
assignment of interest for the son's half of the house to the daughter?,
(2) If so, does that pass legal muster in WA and does someone have a sample
that they are willing to share?, and (3) Does your answer change if the
family friend is the Personal Representative for both the father's estate
(in NY) and the son's estate (with me in WA)?

Thank you for any advice you can provide!

Sincerely,

*Kjersti Stroup*
