[Roger Hawkes]

Long ago the cost of recording was so minimal there was no need to ask.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Recording the Community Property Agreement

Hi All,

Surviving spouse and decedent signed a Community Property Agreement, which has now been recorded with King County (along with the redacted death certificate of decedent spouse).  They also owned property in two other counties in Washington.

Does the CPA need to be recorded in each of the other two counties as well, or is it sufficient to attach as Exhibit A the CPA recorded in King County, when filing a Lack of Probate affidavit in the other two counties? Trying to avoid paying additional recording fees if we can.
