<DIV>Esteemed Colleagues,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a client who moved here from out of state. While a
resident of the other state, he created a Revocable Living
Trust. Now he is wondering whether he should formally
change the situs of the Trust to Washington. I have looked
at the statute having to do with situs, and it appears that, provided that
one or more of several criteria are met, a trust can be registered here in
Washington by filing a form similar to the one described in the
statute. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there any advantage or disadvantage in doing this
immediately? Any harm in waiting? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best regards to all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
