[WSBARP] Estate question

[Tom Westbrook]

Hi Chris, I'm not at my computer right now, but there is a provision in RCW 11 that is generally referred to as the Super Will provision that states something like for a Will to take precedence over beneficiary designations for matters like bank accounts, the account and beneficiary designation must be specifically stated in the Will.

Subject: [WSBARP] Estate question

I am assuming that the beneficiary provisions in a brokerage or bank account take precedence over a will that provides for beneficiaries equally. This isn’t my area of law, and I’m trying to answer a question for a family friend.
