[WSBAPT] King County Lack of Probate Affidavit?

[David Faber]

I tried to file a Lack of Probate Affidavit in King County on a deceased
spouse, removing them from the community property. It just bounced back
with a statement from the County that they will not accept Lack of Probate
Affidavits for transfers of property, and instead that they accept them for
recording as documentation when recording a deed pursuant to an
inheritance. Am I correct in presuming that they are stating the surviving
spouse needs to also sign a Quitclaim Deed to themselves and use the Lack
of Probate Affidavit and death certificate as a supporting document in lieu
of *Letters*? If so, would someone  please either confirm or refute that
King County processes the LOPA+Death Certificate as an attachment or if I
have to process those in some other way?

Thank you!
