[WSBAPT] COMMUNITY PROPERTY AGREEMENT - TRANSFER OF REAL PROPERTY

[Inge Fordham]

Is a Warranty Deed necessary?  If the property is owned by the married couple as community property, and there is a recorded Community Property Agreement, I would think you could just record a certified copy of the death certificate and REETA removing the deceased spouse from title.

Subject: Re: [WSBAPT] COMMUNITY PROPERTY AGREEMENT - TRANSFER OF REAL PROPERTY

Hello All:

I am creating a Warranty Deed to convey real property (the family home), into the sole name of the surviving spouse pursuant to a Community Property Agreement. I drafted the Deed as the Grantor being the Deceased spouse and the grantee being the surviving spouse and I am attaching a copy of the signed and recorded Community Property Agreement to the submission. This is in King County. It seems like this should be sufficient but wanting to check with others who have done this before. Have I missed anything?

Thank you in advance for your helpful input.
