[WSBAPT] Deed Question

[John McCrady]

Typically, all that is needed is to record the Community Property Agreement along with a redacted death certificate.  Many practitioners also prepare and record a community property survivorship affidavit .

Subject: [WSBAPT] Deed Question

Good morning,

I was preparing a TOD Deed for Wife and discovered that the property was still in Husband and Wife's name.  Husband passed away several years ago.  The two has a Community Property (CP) agreement but nothing was done with it at the time of Husband's death and his estate was never probated.

Procedurally, do I need to prepare a CP deed, get it recorded and then after that complete a TOD deed and have it recorded?

Also, does anyone have an example of a CP Deed they would be willing to share?

Thanks,
