<p class="MsoNormal">My thought is that since the point of filing the will is to make it available to interested parties, and since the TPP Memo is “given effect as if it were actually contained in the will itself,” I would file it with the will, because really
they should be read together to see the complete picture. Also, I don’t think there is any harm in filing them together.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If you have a deceased person’s Will that you are going to file with the Superior Court, and it is found with a TPP Memo pursuant to RCW 11.12.260, do you also file the TPP Memo as part of the Will? Is it considered an exhibit to the Will?
I rarely encounter these. My concern is that I am doing a Will only filing, so there won’t be an executor or probate (all joint tenancy assets passed to surviving spouse). I think King County does not allow additional pleadings in a Will only cause #, so it
would have to be filed with the Will if it is filed at all.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">On a practical note, I’m not sure about the effectiveness of a TPP Memo for first spouse to die, considering the items described could be asserted as community property. But I imagine surviving spouse would be fine with honoring the decedent’s
wishes.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
