<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Parent gifts parcel of property to Child via quit claim deed. Deed is never recorded and no REET affidavit executed by Parent. Parent dies.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Child, who is also personal representative of Parent’s Estate, tries to file REET affidavit under gift exemption in WAC 458-61A-201 signing as PR on behalf of grantor. County and Department of Revenue claim that WAC 458-61A-201(5)(a)’s
requirement that the supplemental “statement must be signed by both the grantor and the grantee” cannot be satisfied by the Child signing as PR.

<p class="MsoNormal">Any suggestions on challenging this interpretation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
