[WSBARP] Joint probate question

Thu Mar 3 14:02:57 PST 2022

If the only issue is joint real estate I'd consult with a title company 
first before spending any time on extra measures.  If it's community 
property chances are the title company would accept a lack of probate 
declaration on the spouse to have died earlier.
