<b>Subject:</b> [WSBAPT] Will Found After Initiation of Intestate Succession<u></u><u></u></p><div><div class="h5">
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I started an intestate succession earlier this week on behalf of Client, who is a child of decedent. Today, I received both Letters of Administration and a phone call from someone telling me they had found decedent's
<i>Last Will & Testament</i>. The decedent's <i>Last Will</i> names my client as the first contingent PR after client's brother. Brother already signed off on Client serving as PR under the intestacy, so I'm just trying to figure out the proper course of action
 here...<u></u><u></u></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">My gut says: (1) I need to file the Will under RCW 11.20.010 and get it into Brother's hands; (2) get brother to sign a
<i>Waiver of Right to Serve</i>. Then I should be able to otherwise proceed as currently structured because proceeding under the Will or Intestacy will have the same result. I can't stop second guessing myself, however, because Client is operating under Letters
 of Administration and not Letters Testamentary, and the Court has issued an Order that reflects a situation that is no longer factually accurate (i.e. that no valid Will of Decedent has been found). <u></u><u></u></p>
