<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Jim, depending on what you are looking for, I had an estate where the deceased left about a dozen cheap guns and rifles laying around the house. The personal representative
called Cabela’s at the Tulalip store. We met with Dan Tolleson, Gun Library Manager. He came out to the house and took possession of the guns. Cabela’s then paid money for the guns to the estate. While that probably wasn’t the highest price for the firearms,
it did legally get rid of them. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">Colleagues and particularly those of you so skilled with title issues: I have encountered a problem that I have never encountered before.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">Title company is refusing to clear title for title insurance purposes on property that was held as JTWROS. They are demanding that probate on 1<sup>st</sup> deceased either be reopened or that all intestate heirs
sign off on a veritable lack of probate affidavit style series of documents that they want.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">Basic facts:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">Mom died years ago. Deed from mom’s PR to brother and sister as JTWROS was recorded. Brother died in 1995. Death certificate available.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">Probate opened, but of course this property did not go through probate.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">Good law firm so I assume that brother’s death certificate was recorded or provided, but of course, that is not available on-line.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">Sister died in 2017. Sister’s estate is selling the property. Preliminary commitment says that property is vested in the heirs & devisees of both (deceased) sister and brother.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">Title company says it’s a “matter of policy” that any loose (my word) potential heirs of brother sign off for them to issue title insurance. They won’t recognize the JTWROS status – which is clearly set forth
on the deed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F4E79">Title company tells me that every title company does this…
