[WSBARP] Situs of Trusts

[Jim Doran]

Will the Washington Treasurer's and Auditor's Offices accept the directions
of a Revocable Living Trust that was created and executed in South Carolina
for the purposes of transferring real property in Washington that has been
placed into that Trust?

This is a common occurrence.  Someone makes a Trust in another state and
then moves to Washington and buys property in Washington.  Client wants to
know if she should put the real property in the "South Carolina Trust" or
create a new Revocable Living Trust in Washington and put the property into
that Washington Trust?

I have, of course, suggested that she keep the real property in her name
and simply have a Will made up here that directs her property as she
desires.  But I would like to have the answer to the question above.

Thank you.
