<p class="MsoNormal">A client previously quit claimed property to include new spouse, but used a Florida attorney on their Washington deed. Florida attorney used JTWRS language (though also identifies the grantees as a married couple). Now we are transferring the
property into their joint trust, as community property. Can I transfer it as is, or do I need to remove the JTWRS first, to ensure it is community property later on? <o:p></o:p></p>
