[WSBAPT] Spill Over Probate?

[Ryan Castle]

All,

I just spoke with a potential client wanting a "spill over probate" because
the estate has real estate in WA and IA. I have never heard of a spill
over probate. The PC explained their IA attorney told them to start the
probate in WA and then the WA attorney can apply to the IA court to do a
spill over probate to administer the IA real estate. The PC said she has
spoken with other WA attorneys who have experience with spill
over probates. I just googled "spill over probate" and the internet seems
to think the concept does not exist. Does anyone know what this PC could be
talking about? If it exists, how does this actually work? and how do you
avoid the 'practicing law without a license' issue in the non-WA state?
