significance. As a practical matter the PRs have to cooperate if there is an asset that they both arguably have jurisdiction over, but otherwise they can operate independently.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Decedent died resident of Texas (the state of the primary probate) but owned property in Washington State. D had two children, one residing in Texas (who is serving as PR of the Texas estate) and the other here in Washington State. Client
is the Washington State child, and both siblings have decided they want the Washington State child to be PR of the Washington State ancillary probate. I can see some obvious pitfalls in having multiple people serving as PR in different probate jurisdictions,
but those are no more dramatic to my mind than are two persons serving as co-Personal Representatives. I can find nothing in the code that tells me we cannot have two different PRs in the two probate jurisdictions, but it's an odd enough circumstance that
I want to know if anyone on here has specific cautionary advice or knows of an authority that I could not find that would prevent this. Any thoughts?<u></u><u></u></p>
