[WSBAPT] TOD Deed upon death of Grantor

[Paul Neumiller]

We'll all have to see how this works.  Any person can record a death
certificate by itself.  The law makes it clear that is all that is necessary
to transfer title.  The Island County Recorder's office does not ask the
person the reason for filing the death certificate (I just called them and
asked) so many a layman might just record the death certificate and not know
to file the tax affidavit. 

 

Granted, it would make life easier for the beneficiary for the County to
have the correct billing information so real property taxes get paid.

The Clallam County Assessor confirmed that the grantee must file an excise
tax affidavit and pay the $10, together with recording the death
certificate.

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.
