[WSBAPT] TODD question

[Jennifer L White]

You are correct - that is one of the main drawbacks with using them.  I think they are most appropriate when it is a single child beneficiary as a probate avoidance tool.
Plus, there was that concerning string earlier this year on this Listserv about the homeowner's insurance lawsuit when the place burned down and it wasn't covered because of a policy exclusion for continuing coverage after death.

Subject: [WSBAPT] TODD question

If mother wants to leave her residence to her 2 daughters, but if one of them predeceases she wants it to go to daughters' children, I do not think I can build that contingency into the deed because based upon RCW 64.80.100(1)(d) the interest of the deceased daughter passes to the other surviving daughter correct?

RCW 64.80.100<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__app.leg.wa.gov_RCW_default.aspx-3Fcite-3D64.80.100&d=DwMFAg&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=kDcM-fraYQNOZ1rCslLoMSSRXJQXmQVvRJbE6ymQGho&m=Tbqd1UwVhhZLNUmc9vBPHlNceCZG5Az5LXrfTPK0S_E&s=EbJ338lLDjE3DcjCVNdlIEkkqSK1E4lDAQdyKwhFEsg&e=>
Effect at transferor's death.
(1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, or in RCW 11.07.010<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__app.leg.wa.gov_RCW_default.aspx-3Fcite-3D11.07.010&d=DwMFAg&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=kDcM-fraYQNOZ1rCslLoMSSRXJQXmQVvRJbE6ymQGho&m=Tbqd1UwVhhZLNUmc9vBPHlNceCZG5Az5LXrfTPK0S_E&s=C7z3LdY9tC1zA_GA29usWw3xir2-zyG8b2Zw3HxRnlU&e=>, and 11.05A.030<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__app.leg.wa.gov_RCW_default.aspx-3Fcite-3D11.05A.030&d=DwMFAg&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=kDcM-fraYQNOZ1rCslLoMSSRXJQXmQVvRJbE6ymQGho&m=Tbqd1UwVhhZLNUmc9vBPHlNceCZG5Az5LXrfTPK0S_E&s=I-w2Dp9h4wmwisln-zBwhIoqwxPnLv78TzoeJohco6Y&e=>, on the death of the transferor, the following rules apply to property that is the subject of a transfer on death deed and owned by the transferor at death:
(a) Subject to (b) of this subsection, the interest in the property is transferred to the designated beneficiary in accordance with the deed.
(b) The interest of a designated beneficiary is contingent on the designated beneficiary surviving the transferor. The interest of a designated beneficiary that fails to survive the transferor lapses.
(c) Subject to (d) of this subsection, concurrent interests are transferred to the beneficiaries in equal and undivided shares with no right of survivorship.
(d) If the transferor has identified two or more designated beneficiaries to receive concurrent interests in the property, the share of one which lapses or fails for any reason is transferred to the other, or to the others in proportion to the interest of each in the remaining part of the property held concurrently.
