<p class="MsoNormal">Assuming this is King County, I would go to the Clerk’s office and request that they bring the filed will to ex parte. Then, I would go into ex parte with the self-proving affidavit and provide a new petition outlining the circumstances
surrounding the original will filing and an order admitting the now self-proving Will to probate. I would definitely handle it in-person.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a strange situation, and I’m hoping some of you may have encountered this in the past and know of a relatively easy solution.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We attempted to open a probate by sending the documents via legal messenger. The order was rejected due to a non-self proving will, but the court kept and filed the original will. It turns out that the witness attestation page was inadvertently
left behind when we sent the documents to court. We have the original attestation page, but now that the will has been filed with the court, I’m not sure of the best way to “add” the page that should have been there in the first place. Would a declaration
from the drafting attorney or one/both of the witnesses be required? Is there another way?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
