[WSBARP] Affid. to clear title; parcel w/mobile home and advance personal prop. taxes

[Kary Krismer]

I responded to Joshua privately since messages on this forum are not 
private, but I have a question for the group.

Is there some reason someone would choose to not eliminate title on a 
mobile home when it is placed on real property owned by the same owner?  
I came across that last year where the owner had died, and everything 
indicated it was just an oversight.  But this is seemingly a second 
situation, so I'm wondering if it's sometimes a choice for some reason.  
Separately financed, perhaps?
