I like to think that the CPA causes the title to pass at death.

We record the CPA and Death Certificate to make the passing of title to be a
matter on the public record.

The Community Property Survivorship Affidavit or LOPA were used by the
Auditor to prove no excise tax is owing and are used by Title Companies to
make the passage of title to be an insurable event.

Spouse passed. Couple have a Community Property Agreement. I am about to
record said agreement in King County where they live. Question: Is that
sufficient to transfer title of the family home solely in the name of the
surviving spouse, or do I also need to do a Lack of Probate Affidavit?
