The wife is not the only one who can initiate a probate.  If she refuses to do so, you can connect with an attorney in that state to initiate the probate process for you.

Subject: [WSBARP] Out of State Beneficiary Deceased after Decedent

Greetings,

I have an out of state, married, beneficiary who died after his father.  We are now seeking to wrap up the estate (sale of real property) for the father but the widow has not initiated a probate or obtained an EIN number for her husband’s (beneficiary’s) estate.

How have others dealt with this?  There are capital gains to contend with and I would like the beneficiaries to handle that rather than the estate – so we need the EIN.

Thoughts?
