<p class="MsoNormal">Is there any prohibition to commencing probate in Pierce County where the primary asset of the estate is real property located in Mason County? I realize the Notice to Creditors will need to be published in Mason County. Just looking
to be sure there isn’t any reason I can’t file in Pierce County (where there is – gasp – an electronic filing system).
