[WSBAPT] Lack of Probate Aff/Comm Prop agreement

[Nick Pleasants]

I would record the CPA and a redacted Death Certificate. No need for a LOPA. If surviving spouse goes to sell, he can do one privately with the Title Company. No need to record a public LOPA if there is a Community Property Agreement.
Best,
Nick

Decedent had a will that left all assets to her husband. They also signed a CP agreement. I am preparing a LOPA for husband to sign. Should I record the CP agreement as well?
