<p class="MsoNormal">Good Morning,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been asked to assist in filing a probate for a decedent whose original Will was filed “No Probate” in Whatcom County. I am in King County and would really rather do the probate here, especially since there’s real estate in King
County that needs to be sold. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am sure someone has done this before. Can I just order an exemplified copy of the Will and get it admitted in King County? Or the other option I suppose is to get the Will admitted in Whatcom Ex Parte via the Clerk and ask for a transfer
of venue to King at the same time. I’d like to avoid having to charge the client for me to drive up to Bellingham.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any thoughts? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks much.<o:p></o:p></p>
