[WSBARP] testamentary division

[Rob Wilson-Hoss]

Exactly.  Or, client can bite the bullet and short plat now and vest the
rights. May be a good investment anyway. Then devise by parcel in the will.

Testamentary exemption in RCW Ch. 58.17 only applies to exempt properties
from the subdivision requirements. Heirs still have to comply with setbacks,
minimum lot size, critical areas and other applicable zoning. One pitfall
not expected might be if the zoning changes so what are now buildable lots
become unbuildable before the probate. One way to deal with this is to give
an alternative disposition to sell the property as a whole and distribute
the proceeds to the beneficiaries.

Listmates, we have a client with a large parcel that wishes to do a
testamentary division into several parcels for his heirs.  Any words of
wisdom, warnings, advice etc?  I have looked at the statute and it appears
that there is nothing overly complex about the process which is what
concerns me.  We have legal descriptions that meet zoning requirements and a
survey.  We bequest Lot one to Larry, 2 to Curley and 3 to Moe and so on. As
long as no heir gets adjoining lots we should not have an issue correct?
Let me know what I am missing! Thanks, Craig
