[WSBAPT] community property agreements

[Robert R. Cole]

We are having frustrating problems in the recording of Community 
Property Agreements (along with the death certificate and an Affidavit) 
to transfer property to the surviving spouse.  Counties are refusing to 
record them, saying that they need a deed from the surviving spouse to 
the surviving spouse.  Even including a REETA doesn't work.   And Island 
County Treasurer is now saying that the CPA  doesn't pass title, and 
they won't record a deed from the (now deceased) surviving spouse's 
estate because the property is still titled in the deceased spouse's 
name, even tho the CPA etc was recorded over a decade ago.  Are CPAs now 
basically worthless?
