[WSBAPT] LOPA via Simplifile

[Fern Herbert]

Brent, Do a Lack of Probate Affidavit and file the Death certificate in the same Simplifile package but as a separate document. No REETA. That should do it.

Subject: [WSBAPT] LOPA via Simplifile

Greetings List Members -

I finally have an "easy one" - in that I have a surviving spouse that simply needs to take deceased husband's name off the property. Perfect for a Lack of Probate Affidavit. The house is just a regular single-family home, no other owners - nothing. I saw in Simplifile that King County will accept a LOPA through Simplifile....but rather than trying to figure out exactly the configuration of the submission, I thought I would ask.

Looking at the interface - there is just room for One Document to upload and then the name of the Grantor and Grantee.

No need for a REETA? Proof of Death?  I love Simpli-file for when it works, it's amazing - but I have also had situations where things have needed to be resubmitted multiple times before it was just right.

Appreciate the guidance from anyone who has done this. Again - filing a LOPA for a King County property.

Thank you!
