<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; color:#002060">When transferring real estate to a revocable living trust, is it better to use a quit claim deed or statutory warranty deed (assuming title acquired initially
via statutory warranty deed)?</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; color:#002060"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; color:#002060">An Arizona attorney told me that title companies there will require the quit claim deed into the trust to be re-executed if asked to insure a conveyance
out of the trust. Maybe that makes sense in Arizona, but it doesn’t make sense to me for a Washington transaction. I can see why a title company might prefer a warranty deed into the trust to preserve subrogation claims, but still seems wrong to me.</span></p>
