- Does Washington require court confirmation?
- It depends on the form of probate. Independent administration usually doesn't; formal supervised probate sometimes does. The local probate attorney will know.
- Who pays the probate attorney?
- Estate fees come out of estate assets, typically at closing. The buyer doesn't pay them but doesn't get hit with surprises either.
