they require 3 checks.  one to the treasurer and two to the auditor, one for the $10 REET fee and one for the recording.

We also have to submit two separate checks in Asotin County, one to Treasurer and one to Auditor/Recorder. However, the REET signature line itself plainly refers to the grantor/grantee or agent, as do the instructions for Box 8. So that is just a misunderstanding on the person’s part. A little patience and kind explanation should get you there. 😉 Best, Josh

My client as P of A for her mom signed a gift deed for the grantor. County Treasurer returned everything including the  supplemental statement REET form which accompanied the gift deed .  With the notation that a P of A can not sign the supplemental statement REET form !!  Where did that come from?  So a P of A can sign a deed conveying real property but can’t the supplemental statement REET form which just says it’s a gift and there is no loan on the property. Seems odd to me.

 

(They also said the Auditor needed 2 checks one for the $10 on the REET form and the rest for the recording fee.)
