RCW 11.68.110 requires that the personal representative file a declaration stating that administration is complete and that notice be given to heirs, devisees, and beneficiaries. The statute does not require notarization. However, if the document is drafted
as a declaration, it should generally comply with Washington's unsworn declaration statute, RCW 9A.72.085, and be signed under penalty of perjury.</div>
