<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Chris, <br><br></div>Have you filed the probate? If not, you may want to consider that you can file a probate in any county in WA. So if it would be easier for you to file in King or Snohomish, you could do that. You just have to publish a notice to creditors in the county of residence for the deceased. <br><br></div>See <br><div class="gmail-col-csm-6 gmail-col-csm-pull-6">

I have two questions:<br>
<br>
1. Is it true that all probate orders of administration have to be presented in person?<br>
<br>
2. Is there any way around this so I don't have to drive down from Kirkland?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
