[WSBAPT] Who is the grantor in this situation?

[Eric Nelsen]

I don't think a deed is required, if the CPA states that surviving spouse inherits all community property interest of the deceased spouse. The LOPA and recording of the CPA should be sufficient for a title company to insure transfer of title, if the property is being sold.

Sincerely,

Eric

Subject: [WSBAPT] Who is the grantor in this situation?

I am assisting a client with a property transfer where the current deed is in Husband's name alone. Prior to husband's passing he signed a community property agreement that specifically referenced the property, but unfortunately he passed before signing a new deed. Wife has prepared a LOPA and has the properly executed CPA, but I am about unclear who exactly is the Grantor on the new deed in this situation?
