[WSBAPT] Specific Devise of Real Property

[Jeff at bellanddavispllc.com]

I agree this would be the time to clear this up; but, as always, client
wants to sign the new Will ASAP.  So I think the answer, here, is to do what
Phil suggests and then follow through with what Christopher suggests.

True, but if you (or your client) don't want to go to that trouble, just
describe it in a way that is unmistakable, even though it is not the correct
legal description.  For example, my home at 1234 Anywhere Street, Spokane WA
99203, together with any adjacent lots owned by me.

I would use this as an opportunity to clarify what is owned and take care of
it during the lifetime of the testator.  Get a survey or title insurance
policy and use the new legal or the newly clarified information to make life
easier for you and them.  It will help them sleep more soundly knowing that
they are transferring what they mean to and it will help you sleep more
soundly knowing that you have the correct legal.

Client wants to specifically devise a piece of property.  I usually include
the full legal description in the Will.  However, there is confusion as to
the correct legal description.  There appears to be overlapping deeds;
several correction deeds, that involve two properties.  For a specific
bequest of real property, is it suffice to use just the street address; or
couple it with the assessor's tax id?
