[WSBAPT] Recording the Community Property Agreement

[Sarah Cuellar]

Gerald,

I have found that each county is unique and it's easiest to just call and
ask what they want prior to submitting documents. That said, I've been in
the same situation and the second and third counties accepted certified
copies of the filed CPA.
