I agree with Annie that the MLS has, in the past, been willing to sell forms to lawyers on a limited basis. At one time in the past, they would sell a notebook of their complete forms. That was some time ago, so I am not sure if they would still do that. The concern you  may have is that  you know you want the basic sale form and the Form 17(which differs slightly from the statutory form. Your other option is if you have a good relationship with a real estate agent, that person can get you what you need.

Hello listmates:

Happy snow day!

We need a referral to a CPA who has experience with Washington Estate tax issues and returns.

Here is the scenario at issue. Husband and Wife are non-residents. Husband died. At time of death "they" owned Washington real property: an apartment complex and a house which is used by the apartment manager. The house is titled in the name of a Family Living Trust. The apartment complex was titled in the name of a dissolved Washington LLC (which cannot be reinstated). The sole member of the dissolved Washington LLC is a Family Limited Partnership (general partner is a Family Management Trust which holds a 1% interest and H & W are limited partners - each holding a 49.5% interest). The Family Limited Partnership is inactive but can be reinstated. Upon husband's death, his interest in the Family Limited Partnership will be transferred to the Family Living Trust per his Will. The value of the Washington real estate is about $2.5 million, with overall estate value of about $4 million.

Probate will be out of state, but we would like to find a CPA to assist with any Washington estate tax issues. Any referrals would be appreciated.

Best,
Lisa

Would someone be able to point me to the website where I can find and print
a standard form Purchase& Sale Agreement, and addenda, for residential real
estate? Or send me a few of the forms.

Usually clients come in with them all filled out with problems. Now a
client wants me to prepare it for him.

Thank you.

Does anyone know of any authority answering the following question?

1) Wife acquires property by gift from third party. (presumably separate property at this point)
2) Wife and husband execute Community Property Agreement that has language that converts all separate property to community property.
3) Wife and husband then execute a Revocation of Community Property Agreement.

Does the revocation of community property agreement have the effect of converting the property back to separate property? The revocation does not contain any language explicitly accomplishing this.

I would appreciate any guidance....
Thanks

>From a strictly logical standpoint as well as legal if the parties agreed thru the CPA that the property would be community once the parties revoked the agreement it was rescinded and the property was returned to its separate status unless the parties took other actions that might give the community a lien against the property such as payments on an encumbrance against the property or taxes or conveying title into both names. My two cents anyway for what's it worth.

Another Registration Option for the December 16th Real Property Probate and Trust Section Seminar!!

For those who cannot attend the full day seminar we have opened up a morning only registration option. RPPT Section Members receive a discounted tuition rate of $134.00 and New Lawyers who have been admitted to practice for less than five years also get a discounted tuition rate of $134.00 for the AM program (a mentorship lunch is also included for New Lawyers only).

Practicing real property law is not just negotiating contracts and writing documents. There is a significant ethical component to the practice of real property law, especially when it crosses over into another legal discipline. This morning program offers attendees the opportunity to learn more about the Distressed Home Conveyance Act, the crossover of Family Law and Real Property Law and some of the challenges associated with Real Property Law and Marijuana.

Also included in this seminar is an opportunity exclusive to new lawyers! The RPPT Section is hosting a valuable mentoring opportunity for those attorneys who have been practicing for fewer than 5 years. The Section is offering new attorneys the opportunity to attend a mentorship luncheon connecting you to experienced law practitioners in the field. Lunch is included in the NLE pricing and will provide new lawyers an opportunity to ask questions, discuss challenges and learn tips from seasoned attorneys. If you have been practicing for fewer than five years, please register with the NLE pricing to be included in this opportunity.

I tried that and they have everything else but not the Purchase & Sale

The forms you are looking for are produced by NWMLS. You should contact NWMLS directly. They sell to and/or share the forms with lawyers upon inquiry. I am not sure what their terms are but I understand they are quite reasonable.

Buyer beware with the NWMLS forms. In my view, they have unfavorable or insufficient paragraphs throughout the agreement depending on who you represent.

The forms you are looking for are produced by NWMLS. You should contact NWMLS directly. They sell to and/or share the forms with lawyers upon inquiry. I am not sure what their terms are but I understand they are quite reasonable.

Thanks - Annie

I agree with Marcus. As attorneys we should have our own work product that is tailored to the client needs and the specifics of the property. MLS forms are a one size fits all contract designed to meet the minimum standards of creating a binding agreement without giving legal advice or giving advantage to one party or the other. Not to say you can?t make your own template that you modify based on the deal but I am not a fan of attorneys using boiler plate real estate agent forms.

Well, as a licensed broker as well as an attorney, I would note that a
residential real estate transaction, almost by definition, needs some trust
and cooperation. If you MUST see changes to the forms, depending on your
client, then you make trust and cooperation difficult. Query whether that
is in the client's best interests - where the client can surely give
informed consent to whatever additional "risk" results.

Jim, I have the NWMLS order form and can send that along. I can also send
you my own forms (drafted for and owned by my real estate firm Added Equity
Real Estate). Just shoot me an email directly.

I should have noted that I make my forms available for free, here:
http://addedequity.com/free-wa-real-estate-forms/. It's one of my many
methods for building web traffic and spreading the message about my
innovative real estate firm.

Another attorney has already reached out to me for a set of my forms as a
professional courtesy. I am happy to do it for anyone who asks. Just give
me a couple of days to strip out the logo, insert some disclaimer language
specifically for attorneys, and I'll be able to share a set of editable
Word docs, for use as you see fit. In exchange, I ask only that you give me
frank feedback on the forms and how they might be improved, recognizing
that they are for use by real estate brokers and therefore by definition
must be "balanced" between the interests of the buyer and the seller.

To a certain extent and depending on how many zeros are in the purchase price, I agree with Craig. There are thousands of transactions that close weekly using the NWMLS forms successfully. If a FSBO seller comes to me for the sale of a standard Leave It to Beaver house, I question my utility if I try to force use of word-processed attorney prepared form that causes grief with the buyer because, in the buyer?s mind, the buyer now needs to hire an attorney. (AND, the new attorney has to earn his income by finding fault with the another attorney?s form and now we are off to races with multiple negotiations.) Sometimes, I feel it is better (after full disclosure with the client) to use the NWMLS forms because then the seller takes it to the buyer (or vice versa) and says, ?this is the form that everyone uses and the brokers are all comfortable using? and saying that the form is a middle of the ground form that doesn?t? particularly favor one party over the over. Frequently,!
it?s a ?no-brainer.? Are there tradeoffs? Definitely yes. But if the deal goes through with no hiccups and the parties move on with their lives, then all is good. As Craig B. points out, you need trust and cooperation to move forward. The forms give both parties lots of outs but if you have a motivated buyer and a motivated seller, the deal should go through. Though I have no empirical evidence, I feel that for a standard sale of residence situation, there would be more problems created by using a lawyer-generated P&S agreement than the problems created by using the NWMLS forms. Of course, all that said, I have a CYA letter I send to my client if the client wants to use me instead of a broker.

Well, as a licensed broker as well as an attorney, I would note that a residential real estate transaction, almost by definition, needs some trust and cooperation. If you MUST see changes to the forms, depending on your client, then you make trust and cooperation difficult. Query whether that is in the client's best interests - where the client can surely give informed consent to whatever additional "risk" results.

Jim, I have the NWMLS order form and can send that along. I can also send you my own forms (drafted for and owned by my real estate firm Added Equity Real Estate). Just shoot me an email directly.

The forms you are looking for are produced by NWMLS. You should contact NWMLS directly. They sell to and/or share the forms with lawyers upon inquiry. I am not sure what their terms are but I understand they are quite reasonable.

Thanks - Annie

Would someone be able to point me to the website where I can find and print a standard form Purchase& Sale Agreement, and addenda, for residential real estate? Or send me a few of the forms.
Usually clients come in with them all filled out with problems. Now a client wants me to prepare it for him.

Side sewer line servicing private property "breaks". I am told the "break"
is below city owned property.



Who pays for repair: City of Seattle or property owner?



I seem to recall being told years ago that if a line breaks below the street
the City pays; if the line breaks from the edge of the street to the home
the owner pays. 



Thanks for any feedback. Ron

There should be a municipal ordinance that defines the responsibility, and
the city public works office can direct you to it. The plumber may have a
different opinion about the location of the break - most have remote in pipe

Side sewer line servicing private property "breaks". I am told the "break"
is below city owned property.



Who pays for repair: City of Seattle or property owner?



I seem to recall being told years ago that if a line breaks below the street
the City pays; if the line breaks from the edge of the street to the home
the owner pays. 



Thanks for any feedback. Ron

Something like this:

?At your request, I have prepared the enclosed the purchase and sale documents for the purchase of the residence located at XXXXXXX, WA. As I explained to you in our meeting, I am providing the necessary documents to facilitate the sale of the residence. I am not providing any other services or functions at this time. As you know, I had advised that you hire and work through a real estate broker or sales agent because a sales agent will provide many useful services, such as assisting the parties in obtaining inspections and working with the escrow company.  In order to avoid any misunderstanding or confusion, I want to make it clear that, other than providing the necessary paperwork, I am not providing the typical type of services that would be provided by a real estate agent. Accordingly, unless I hear from you stating otherwise, I will assume that I have no further duties in this matter.?

Though I have no empirical evidence, I feel that for a standard sale of residence situation, there would be more problems created by using a lawyer-generated P&S agreement than the problems created by using the NWMLS forms. Of course, all that said, I have a CYA letter I send to my client if the client wants to use me instead of a broker.

Well, as a licensed broker as well as an attorney, I would note that a residential real estate transaction, almost by definition, needs some trust and cooperation. If you MUST see changes to the forms, depending on your client, then you make trust and cooperation difficult. Query whether that is in the client's best interests - where the client can surely give informed consent to whatever additional "risk" results.

Jim, I have the NWMLS order form and can send that along. I can also send you my own forms (drafted for and owned by my real estate firm Added Equity Real Estate). Just shoot me an email directly.

The forms you are looking for are produced by NWMLS. You should contact NWMLS directly. They sell to and/or share the forms with lawyers upon inquiry. I am not sure what their terms are but I understand they are quite reasonable.

Thanks - Annie

Would someone be able to point me to the website where I can find and print a standard form Purchase& Sale Agreement, and addenda, for residential real estate? Or send me a few of the forms.
Usually clients come in with them all filled out with problems. Now a client wants me to prepare it for him.

Ron - My understanding is that in the City of Seattle the property owner is responsible up to the point where the side-sewer connects to the main even when the side-sewer line is under city property. The property adjacent to my office building had a situation where the cost of ripping up the street and fixing the side-sewer was $90K+ (major arterial; had to have flaggers and re-route Metro buses. A real mess). Property owner paid 100%? I think I heard that they tried submitting a claim to the City of Seattle but were not successful. - Mark

There are cases under which the City typically will pay for the sewer replacement, in particular if a camera survey of the sewer reveals that the roots from city-owned trees caused the damage to be repaired. I know of a few instances where the homeowner was able t to successfully argue for reimbursement based on the city tree roots argument. Possibly beyond the scope of your facts but I wanted to share this twist on the general rule.

Ron - My understanding is that in the City of Seattle the property owner is responsible up to the point where the side-sewer connects to the main even when the side-sewer line is under city property. The property adjacent to my office building had a situation where the cost of ripping up the street and fixing the side-sewer was $90K+ (major arterial; had to have flaggers and re-route Metro buses. A real mess). Property owner paid 100%? I think I heard that they tried submitting a claim to the City of Seattle but were not successful. - Mark

Side sewer line servicing private property ?breaks?. I am told the ?break? is below city owned property.

Who pays for repair: City of Seattle or property owner?

I seem to recall being told years ago that if a line breaks below the street the City pays; if the line breaks from the edge of the street to the home the owner pays.

Thanks for any feedback. Ron
