<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’m not sure I understand exactly what the issue is. If the Will provided that the property in question was to fund the Testamentary Trust, a deed from the Personal Representative, pursuant to the terms of the
Will and the nonintervention powers given the Personal Representative, to the Trustee of the XYZ Trust should be sufficient.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I have found that they don’t like us to use one deed to wipe out a step. For example, if I have a married beneficiary of an estate who would like to own inherited property with their spouse, it doesn’t work to
have them give the Personal Representative instructions to deed the property to beneficiary and spouse; we have to do two deeds, one to beneficiary and another from beneficiary to beneficiary and spouse. If the transaction all fits under one WAC on the excise
tax affidavit, one deed should work, if you are using two exemptions, (inheritance & transfers between spouses) generally must use two deeds.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am transferring an interest in real estate from an estate to a testamentary trust. I prepared a PR deed and a REETA, from the PR to the Trustees of the xxx Trust. It was rejected by the King Co Recorder, saying I needed two separate
transactions—first “from Grantor to people, not with the trust”; second “from people to people + trust”. I have never run into this before, and don’t understand what it means. I would appreciate feedback. Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
