[WSBARP] probating husband and wife's estates

[Jeanne Dawes]

We can open 1 probate for both H&W in Spokane County, but not sure about King county.  If you don't get a response, ask the JA in exparte.  I have had the clerk's office try to tell me you cannot do this, to be told later by the JA that you can.

Subject: [WSBARP] probating husband and wife's estates

H&W have died and both estates need to be probated.
Do I need to open two separate probates?  Or could I open one probate under the caption of "Estate of H&W"?  Or open one probate under a double caption?  And do I pay one filing fee or two?
Probate will be in King County.  Appreciate any comments.
