that more complex divisions require oversight by someone other than a mere county auditor.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Listmates, Client would like to use a Revocable Transfer on Death Deed to transfer property to his children 60% to one child, 40% to other child. I have read and re-read RCW 64.80 and my concern is RCW 64.80.100(1)(c): “Subject to (d) of
this subsection, concurrent interests are transferred to the beneficiaries in equal and undivided shares with no right of survivorship.” Does this mean an RTDD can only transfer “equal” shares to multiple beneficiaries? Input appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
