<div class="">They included the new real estate excise tax section RCW 82.45.197 that states a ltr Testamentary must be given to the county treasurer, then subsection (2) states that it must be recorded: "<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Open Sans",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;text-indent:24px" class="">The
documentation provided to the county treasurer under this section must also be recorded with the county auditor." I think a copy of the Ltrs must also be attached to the excise tax affidavit?</span></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">My brain says that it is attached to the deed so it is being recorded! Additionally, the statute does not state that they have to be "separately" recorded. However, and obviously, Sno County is stating it must be recorded first - another recording
fee, go figure.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Any one have experience in other counties, or in Sno County, that they are right and the Ltrs need to be "separately" recorded before the new deed is presented?</div>
