Pursuant to WAC 458-61A-303(2)(b)(m), a REET is required when perfecting title by recording a certified copy of transferor’s death certificate, which is what we are now trying to do. But now that transferor is dead, who signs REET on behalf of grantor? I assume grantee, as there are no other players, but that seems odd.
