[WSBARP] Transferring Real Estate to a Minor

[Doris Eslinger]

I have a client who wants to transfer a real estate title to a minor.  I have not done this before but in reviewing RCW 11.114 (specifically, RCW 11.114.030 & 11.114.090(e)), I believe that it can be done. The statute provides the necessary language for the transfer: "..., as custodian for ... (name of minor)".  Moreover, the statute allows the deed to name a successor custodian and to extend the custodianship to the minor's twenty-fifth birthday.  If anyone has any guidance, please advise. Thank you!

Regards,
