[WSBARP] Deed of Trust For Agricultural Land

[Rick Hoss]

David, The agriculture limit is not just in the form – it is in the statute: rcw 61.24.030.  Eric is right about seller electing mortgage foreclosure: 2) That the deed of trust contains a statement that the real property conveyed is not used principally for agricultural purposes; provided, if the statement is false on the date the deed of trust was granted or amended to include that statement, and false on the date of the trustee's sale, then the deed of trust must be foreclosed judicially. Real property is used for agricultural purposes if it is used in an operation that produces crops, livestock, or aquatic goods

 

There is a LPB form for a real estate contract – but you are representing the buyer. The judicial foreclosure might be better for a buyer in default than a real estate contract forfeiture.

Real Property List:

 

I am working on behalf of a buyer purchasing real property for-sale-by-owner with the seller carrying the note. The real property will be used in significant part as agricultural land. Being aware of the limiting language in the LPO form deed of trust ("which real property is not used principally for agricultural or farming purposes"), I called the closing agent and discussed the issue. At that point in time, they informed me that they could prepare a deed of trust for agricultural lands and I figured the issue was settled. Now that we're a couple days from closing closing, however, they have provided a deed of trust with the limiting language around agricultural land and I find I'm now in a bind. Any advice on what to do now? We're four days from closing.




Best,
