[WSBAPT] Joint Tenancy with almost Simultaneous Death

[Diane J. Kiepe]

I would just add to a comment I saw come through but did not have time to read, is keep in mind, real property vests a death s0 any statute you read relating to survival requirement may apply to just personal property/investment type bank accounts - on the run but wanted to through that out there.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Joint Tenancy with almost Simultaneous Death

Listmates,

Two people who hold real property in WA as JTWROS pass within hours of each other.  Is there case law in WA that defines simultaneous death (within how many seconds, minutes, hours, days) for purposes of determining whether the "survivor" is treated as a survivor and became sole owner of the RP?  I was just told that California has a 120 hour rule.
