[WSBARP] WSBARP Digest, Vol 71, Issue 16

Silly REETA question re  WAC 458-61-202:

Everyone here understands that there are exemptions to REET when it's an
inheritance or devise.  I've also had the situation where beneficiaries are
getting non pro rata distribution, so one sibling gets the house instead of
all of them.

Can anyone provide guidance on when the PR sells the real property to a
third party, i.e. an arms length buyer?  Escrow agent says they will not
close and that this WAC does NOT apply and excise tax is due per the title
officer.  And that there will be a lien on title if we do it this way
(using the WAC).

TIA,

Lisa 206.569.8838
