[WSBAPT] Intestate Property Distribution

[Maura McCoy]

Listmates: 

We have an oddball intestate probate question! Our client is Wife (W), who was married to Husband (H) who recently passed intestate. H owned SP and CP real property. H and W have 12 kids jointly. All 12 kids have agreed that the two parcels of H’s SP real property can go to their mother, W. 

We are struggling with the best way to get the property to W. A disclaimer pursuant to RCW 11.86.041 would cause the SP to go to H’s siblings. But accepting the two parcels and then gifting them to W will be really expensive in both attorneys and recording fees (12 recording fees!). 

Any thoughts about the best and least expensive way to proceed?
