to be absolutely certain it answers the current question, but Dwight Bickel, regional counsel for title companies across 6 northwestern states, indeed told us at the RPPT seminar last Friday that all interests given must be equal and concurrent, and if there
are multiple grantees, the share of a deceased grantee passes to the other grantees. He also said a grantee must be alive at the time of transfer, and the interest is not subject to right of representation or anti-lapse rules. I do not recall, however, his
specifically discussing specifically stated contingent interests – but I cannot see how contingent interests can be concurrent. Dwight also referred us to Al Falk’s summer 2014 article in the RPPT newsletter. Al worked hard on the legislation and was instrumental
in getting it passed, so I suspect his article covers the bases.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

simultaneous and equal interests and cannot be survival contingencies in the document. Similarly, you could not give ½ to son and ½ to son’s children equally.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Client wants to use a Transfer on Death Deed to transfer residence to Able, and if Able is deceased or disclaims the residence (RCW 64.80.110 says the beneficiary may disclaim), then residence
goes to Baker. RCW 64.80.100(1)(b) says the transfer “lapses” if the beneficiary fails to survive the transferor. Does the collective mind of the listserv believe that it would be an effective TODD if I put: “To Able, and if Able either fails to survive
me or chooses to disclaim Able’s beneficiary interest in this Revocable Transfer Upon Death Deed pursuant to RCW 64.80.110, then to Baker.”??? Thanks for your input.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
