<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone opened one probate in King County for a married couple when the husband died intestate and the wife died testate? In this case, husband died intestate a year before the wife and probate was never opened for him and wife then
died with a Will. Everything goes to two adult children and no complications. I prefer to open one probate matter for the two estates if it can be done easily. I am afraid the court would reject it since the Court issues Letters of Administration for
an intestate estate and a Letters Testamentary for a testate estate. If that doesn’t work, then I will file separate petitions. Thank you in advance for any comments!<o:p></o:p></p>
