[WSBARP] Combining Multiple Parcels in Single Deed

[Roger Hawkes]

This seems like a ripe area for new 'clerk policies' requiring fees for each parcel; better hurry before they decide they 'need' more money.

I can see no reason not to use one deed to convey all Spokane County property owned by client into the living trust.  This is true whether contiguous or not.  The client doesn't need to pay the extra recording fees....

Hi,
I have a fairly straightforward question. Client has acquired multiple adjacent parcels via different deeds (some came in by Quit Claim Deed from family, others by Statutory Warranty Deed by purchase). Now we want to transfer these parcels to a Living Trust. Can I transfer all of the parcels by a single quit claim deed? Are there any restrictions on this? Must they be contiguous? Property is in Spokane County, if that matters. Thanks for your help!
Best,
Nick
