<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have a case where a man has been missing for about a year under circumstances that make it likely he is deceased, but no body has been found. He was a Washington resident at the time he went missing. Does
he remain a Washington resident until the 7 years are up—even if his home is sold and he has no ties to Washington (or anywhere else)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
