INSTRUCTIONS: WASHINGTON D.C. WAIVER OF PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE'S BOND

The form discussed in this article is used by the creditor of a Washington D.C. estate with a claim of over $500 that has not been disbarred or been disqualified to waive protection of any bond filed by an estate personal representative.
