[WSBAPT] TOD Deed upon death of Grantor

[Kokie Adams]

That is how it worked in Snohomish County as well for the TODs that I have filed.

In my discussions with the excise department (Mary) with the Spokane County Treasurer’s office she indicated that upon the death of the TOD deed grantor the grantee will have to complete and file a real estate excise tax affidavit ($10) at that time in order to transfer ownership in their system.  No real estate excise tax affidavit is needed for the original recording of the TOD deed as it is only upon the death of the grantor that title vests in the grantee.  Thus, excise tax affidavit after the death of the grantor.

As it is so new, you might want to check with your local treasurer's office.

Mates,

Upon the death of the Grantor, following the recording of a TOD deed prior to death, is anything necessary to vest title in the Grantee beyond recording a death certificate?  For what it is worth, I did review RCW 64.80 prior to posting.  Thanks.
