[WSBARP] County Assessor Fails to Pick Up Recording

[Jeff Davis]

Thank you for all your responses.  I did call the assessor and yes they did not pick it up because no excise tax affidavit was filed; but she did not say one was require but that they rely on the affidavits.  She also said you could record a document and just call them up with the reference number, which means you could also notify them by mail.

 

Here in Clallam County we never file excise tax affidavits for recording this type and other non-deed documents.  Our Assessor receives copies of all recorded documents.

 

Needless to say, the problem is solved, thank heavens its Friday.

 

Jeff

If you didn’t submit a Real Estate Excise Tax Affidavit in the transaction, it is likely the Assessor is unaware that anything has changed. You could contact the Assessor directly and give notice of the decedent’s passing.

 

Thank you for allowing me to be of service. Please contact me if you have any questions or if I may be of further assistance.

Listmates,

 

Last year we recorded a death certificate to transfer title to the surviving joint tenants.  The coversheet contained the Decedent as Grantor, the surviving Joint Tenants as Grantees, properly referenced the deed creating the joint tenancy with right of survivorship and the tax parcel ID.  County assessor has not picked up the recording with the decedent’s name still on title.  Have any of you had this happen in the past.  Do I just write the assessor and provide them a copy of the recorded death certificate?
