<p class="MsoNormal">Hi listmates. I would appreciate some assistance here on a probate.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PR is not a U.S. citizen, and does not reside in the U.S. There’s a WA resident agent. We’d like to open up an estate bank account, having the resident agent do it because the PR isn’t here. We’ve approached several banks, and no bank will
open up the account unless the PR personally comes in to do it. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have any of you ever dealt with this situation? If so, were you able to find a bank that would open up the account? Which bank? PR is, obviously, happy to sign whatever is needed. She just doesn’t want to travel to the United States for
the sole purpose of opening the account.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for your assistance!<o:p></o:p></p>
