[WSBAPT] TOD Deeds

[Heather deVrieze]

The consensus of the panel on this subject at the recent Estate Planning CLE was that you cannot do what you propose effectively. As I understand it, all grantees must be given simultaneous and equal interests and cannot be survival contingencies in the document. Similarly, you could not give ½ to son and ½ to son's children equally.

Subject: [WSBAPT] TOD Deeds

Listservers: Has anyone done the following yet?

Client wants to use a Transfer on Death Deed to transfer residence to Able, and if Able is deceased or disclaims the residence (RCW 64.80.110 says the beneficiary may disclaim), then residence goes to Baker.  RCW 64.80.100(1)(b) says the transfer "lapses" if the beneficiary fails to survive the transferor.  Does the collective mind of the listserv believe that it would be an effective TODD if I put:  "To Able, and if Able either fails to survive me or chooses to disclaim Able's beneficiary interest in this Revocable Transfer Upon Death Deed pursuant to RCW 64.80.110, then to Baker."???  Thanks for your input.
