Hello all, </p>

I am handling a new probate where the decedent’s will makes no mention of waiving bond. The will was prepared by a reputable firm in Seattle, so I am scratching my head, wondering why that was not included, given the named executrix. I doubt whether it was
even discussed with the testatrix. One of the two adult daughters is the executrix. She and sister share equally in the residuary estate after $15k to each of 4 grandkids (all adults). The statute says that there needs to be something in the will that evidences
the testator’s intent to waive bond. Is there any way to not require bond? I am hoping that someone out there has experience with obtaining waivers of bond from the heirs named in the will. I assume that I would have to get waivers from the grandkids as well
as the two daughters?</p>

Does anyone have a handy form for this purpose?</p>
