[WSBARP] REET question

[Eric Nelsen]

No good--one of the pitfalls for unmarried couples who want to transfer property interests between them, whether during the relationship or incident to a breakup. If you're not legally married, or in a state registered domestic partnership (very limited group these days), the -203<http://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=458-61A-203> exemption is not available.

Sincerely,

Eric

Subject: [WSBARP] REET question

Have a client that has been in a long term committed intimate relationship, but not a registered domestic partner. She is selling her 60% interest in the LLC she owned with her partner that owns an office building and associated land as the primary asset. Can I use WAC 458-61A-203 exemption, transfer between domestic partners, to escape the REET or do they have to be registered domestic partners to qualify for the exemption?

Sincerely,

Tom
