[WSBAPT] title company request

[Bryce Dille]

When our firm gets that type of request we send a letter stating that based on the information we have received it appears that the value of the estate is below the exemption amount For both federal Estate andWashington state inheritance taxes and therefore based on that information no tax is  Owing.

Hi, listmates –

In a probate, the PR is selling the decedent’s residence. The title company has asked me as PR’s attorney to provide a letter stating there is no “lien of succession taxes” on the property. Title says this is something that would not show up in their own title search. I have not been asked for something like this before.

Does someone have experience with this? I’m wondering how to find out, and whether I am incurring risks by providing such a letter.

Thanks!
Sharon
