<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">I finally have an "easy one" - in that I have a surviving spouse that simply needs to take deceased husband's name off the property. Perfect for a Lack of Probate Affidavit. The house is just
a regular single-family home, no other owners - nothing. I saw in Simplifile that King County will accept a LOPA through Simplifile....but rather than trying to figure out exactly the configuration of the submission, I thought I would ask. </div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Looking at the interface - there is just room for One Document to upload and then the name of the Grantor and Grantee. </div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">No need for a REETA? Proof of Death? I love Simpli-file for when it works, it's amazing - but I have also had situations where things have needed to be resubmitted multiple times before it was
just right. </div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Appreciate the guidance from anyone who has done this. Again - filing a LOPA for a King County property. </div>
