[WSBAPT] CPA v. Probate

[Jeff at bellanddavispllc.com]

Listmates:

 

Decedent inherited real property from father.  Decedent later remarried and,
with his new wife, executed a Community Property Agreement.  He also
executed a new Will leaving everything to his new wife.  I know we debated
the value of a CPA vs. Probate and a personal representative's deed, but I
forget what the final conclusions were.  I know the surviving spouse would
like to avoid probate and we have the CPA.  Is there any downside to just
recording it?
