[WSBAPT] WAC 458-61A-202(6)(e)

[David Faber]

I just attempted to record a deed conveying title out of a trust following
the death of the grantor and used a Certification of Trust under RCW
11.98.075 as the "copy of that portion of the trust instrument showing the
authority of the grantor". The County just kicked back the deed saying that
a Certification of Trust is insufficient. I've been recording deeds
transferring titles out of trusts as inheritance for 10 years and have
never had them demand the actual pages of the trust instrument. Has anyone
else encountered this problem before? Would I need to record the first
page, the page appointing the trustee, the page describing the trustee's
powers, the page including the beneficiaries, and the signature and notary
pages of the trust? That seems extreme...

Best,
