<div>
<div>Under RCW 11.68.110(1)(d), "can the otherwise provided for" be satisfied by setting aside the amount estimated to be owed for back taxes in a separate account? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The underlying facts are pretty simple, no will, only one heir, and one investment account. The heir does not reside in this country. A probate was opened in WA and heir obtained the funds in the investment account. A US money (bank type) account was opened by the heir and the estimated taxes are being held in this account. The estimated tax amount to be withheld was provided by the investment company. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Would the above meet the statutory requirement? It is assumed there will be back taxes for the deceased in personal tax returns not estate tax. </div>

<div>Thank you,</div>
