The will has no date, was not witnessed, and was drafted in Washington. My question is what is my responsibility with this invalid will? Should it still be filed or should I simply advise my client that the will is invalid and proceed with the probate?</p><div><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;" times="times" new="new" roman="roman" serif="serif">Ty Albertson, Attorney </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;" times="times" new="new" roman="roman" serif="serif">Albertson Law LLP</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;" times="times" new="new" roman="roman" serif="serif">(509) 551-3315</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;" times="times" new="new" roman="roman" serif="serif">124 Kennewick Ave. #12</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;" times="times" new="new" roman="roman" serif="serif">Kennewick, WA 99336</span></div><p><br></p><p><br></p><p class="ox-942332cf76-MsoNormal">**** CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE****</p><p class="ox-942332cf76-MsoNormal">The information contained in this email is privileged and confidential; intended only for the use of the addressee(s).
