[WSBAPT] Inherited vehicles- sales tax exemption

[Alexis Singletary]

I have a Decedent who passed in 2024 but had inherited an RV from his dad in 2023 - transfer all fine to son in 2023. No sales tax due since inherited.  Now, Decedent’s heir ready to put the RV into his name and Dept of Licensing wants about $12,000 in sales tax “because you cannot transfer a vehicle without sales tax two times in a row.”

I guess I have never experienced this in any probate and cannot seem to put my hand on the cite.

Thank you!
Best,
Alexis

Subject: [WSBAPT] PPM - Transfer of Guns

RCW 11.12.260 - does not prohibit the use of a Personal property memorandum for guns. I thought I had recall of that being discussed as part of the no-no list at a CLE, but I am not finding it in my course materials going back two years.

Was I making that up in my head? I also did a quick search for case law and came up short. Appreciate confirmation one way or the other if you know it!

Thank you,
