[WSBARP] Transfer on Death Deed

[Bickel, Dwight]

RCW 64.80.100
(3) If a transferor is a joint owner and is:

     (a) Survived by one or more other joint owners, the property that is the subject of a transfer on death deed belongs to the surviving joint owner or owners with right of survivorship; or

     (b) The last surviving joint owner, the transfer on death deed is effective.

My understanding is: that a TODD to convey all interest in Community Property that is signed by both spouses/partners:

*          When one Grantor dies while still married or a partner, and the other survives, the TODD is not effective to convey any interest.
*          When the second Grantor dies, the TODD is effective only as to the interest owned by the second Grantor at that time of that Grantor's death.
*          The "beneficiary" must survive the second grantor's death.
*          Note, the survivor Grantor may revoke the TODD prior to his/her death.
