<p class="MsoNormal">Mark, <br>
<br>
I would look at RCW 11.28.185, which states, "o<span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";background:white">r when the personal representative is the surviving spouse or surviving domestic partner of the decedent and it appears to the court that the
entire estate, after provision for expenses and claims of creditors, will be distributable to such spouse or surviving domestic partner, then such personal representative shall not be required to give bond or other security as a condition of appointment."<br>
<br>
Assuming that everything is going to the spouse (you didn't say), I don't think a bond will be necessary.
