WILLS
WILLS

Every person who has reached
the age of 81 years and is of sound
mind may make Will. If a
person is minor or was mentally
incompetent at the time he made
his will then the law will pre-
sumo that he died without making
will.
A person who dies leaving a
will is said to have died testate.
The person who is appointed I'M
der the terms of the will to take
care of the estate is called the
executor.
If a person passes away with
out leaving a will he is said to
have died intestate. The person
who is appointed by the court to
take care of the estate is called
the administrator.
Under Washington law the
surviving spouse of a decedent is
entitled to inherit at least $4,000
free and clear of all claims of gen.
eral creditors. This is known as
the award in lieu of homestead
exemption. In all other cases
creditors have a prior right over
the legatees providing they file
their claims within six months
from the beginning of the probate
proceeding.
Washington is one of the few
community property states and
usually, therefore, one-half of a
mans entire estate belongs by law
to his wife. He is under an obliga-
ton to give his wife at least one
half of his entire estate upon his
passing.
In the event the deceased should
pass away intestate then one-half
of the entire estate would go to
the surviving spouse and the other
half would be divided evenly
among their children.
