<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Listmates: How do I deal with an open intestate probate when we have found the Will. Background: H dies in 2017. Wife does nothing at the time but now has problem transferring
real property (surprise surprise). For various reasons (like no knowledge of a Will), we open an intestate probate without publishing notice (because, well, H died over four years ago). We asked that everything go to W as community property because they
were married for so long, and no inheritance, etc. Well, W just found a 1986 military Will hidden in rafters of house where everything goes to her anyway. What do you recommend I do here? Thanks. I know this is covered in the RCWs somewhere but I can’t
find it. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
