Jon,

 

We also attach the Will as an exhibit; I have not had it rejected in either
Clallam or Jefferson Counties.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Exhibits to Lack of Probate Affidavit

 

Listmates:

 

When recording a Lack of Probate Affidavit after the death of the first
spouse it has been my practice to attach a copy of the deceased spouse's
Will as an exhibit in addition to the death certificate. However, I just had
a Lack of Probate Affidavit that I submitted via Simplifile rejected by the
Clark County Auditor with the notation "COPY OF WILL NOT NEEDED PLEASE
REMOVE." 

 

I'm curious if others attach a copy of the decedent's Will and or is a
statement in the affidavit that the decedent's Will left the decedent's
community interest in the property to the surviving spouse sufficient?
