<DIV><FONT size=4>It has been a long time since I have researched this
question: Is a holographic Will, written in the "testator's" hand and
dated and signed, but not witnessed, enforceable in Washington State? I
recall that Washington absolutely requires witnesses but maybe there has been
some case law that has eroded that rule. There is no other Will and if
this proceeds as an intestate probate the decedent's intentions will be
completely foiled.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Any ideas? </FONT></DIV>
