<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Along those lines of spousal consent, this is from a brief I drafted about 17 years ago:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">“In Nichols Hill Bank v. McCool, Jr., 104 Wn.2d 78, 701 P.2d 1114 (1985), the Washington Supreme Court interpreted RCW 26.16.030(2) where a husband guaranteed a loan to
a son without his wife’s consent. The loan was discharged in bankruptcy for the son and the bank sought judgment against the husband’s separate property and the husband’s one-half interest in the community property. The trial court dismissed the claim against
the husband’s community property. The Supreme Court held that:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">RCW 26.16.030(2) specifically requires the consent of both spouses before a gift of community property can be effectuated. If we found that a creditor could reach the donor
spouse’s one-half interest in community property, the total amount of that property would be diminished. We would, in effect, be defying the statutory mandate by allowing the community estate to be gratuitously reduced without the consent of both spouses.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Id. at 88. The Supreme Court affirmed the trial court judgment dismissing the claim against the husband’s community property solely because the wife had not given consent.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> A second case is factually similar to this matter. In Bosone v Bosone, 53 Wn. App. 614, 768 P.2d 1022 (1989), a husband and wife entered into a community property
agreement that converted all of their separate assets into community property. Unbeknownst to the wife, the husband deeded their residence to his children from a former marriage. After the husband’s death, his children from the former marriage listed the
residence for sale and the surviving spouse brought a quiet title action. The Washington Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s grant of summary judgment to the wife and declared the deed void and invalid under both RCW 26.16.030(2) (requiring consent
of both spouses for gift of community property) and RCW 26.16.030(3) (requiring both spouses to join in and acknowledge a conveyance of community real property.)”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’ve done a couple of these and they work similar to priority creditors. You file the request with the court, schedule a hearing on the issue, if/when the court approves, your client has either $125,000 in protected
value in the home OR $125,000 cash if there are liquid assets available. As far as creditors go, it basically puts the spouse ahead of most creditors…also keep in mind, it could push the estate into insolvency, but she would still be preserved in that basic
spousal award.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Be aware that if decedent had any children from prior marriages, those children are eligible to split the homestead award with the surviving spouse by filing a motion requesting the same. In this case, the court
will decide how to divide the award.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I have a new client just came in and her husband died a few months ago leaving $70k in debt. They own a home in Snohomish worth $270,800, community property, no mortgage.
However, there appears to be $70,000 in unsecured debt credit cards the wife was really unaware of… husband took care of finances. Also another loan with Chase for $18,000 in 1995 that she is still getting information on – Chase is telling her the home was
used as security but she had no idea about that. They also own land in Port Townsend that she wants to sell worth approximately $8800, community property as well. She was left with less than $10,000 and $1600 month income in social security. Nothing else.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Seems the best way to help her is to file for a spousal award in lieu of homestead. I have some samples of pleadings so will be doing the docs after appointment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Husband’s half of community property interest in the home in Snohomish would be $135,400 and with $88,000 in debt, the homestead would be $125,000.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
