[WSBARP] Removing deceased spouse from title / transfer to trust

[Mark Anderson]

It depends on how they took title.  It would not seem to be a problem if they took title as JTROS.  But if they were on title as "husband and wife," I think you are looking at a probate action.

Subject: [WSBARP] Removing deceased spouse from title / transfer to trust

Hi All,


Husband and wife established a Revocable Trust that currently holds N Dakota property but not their residence in Washington.  Husband is now deceased.  Is there a way other than opening a probate for husband's estate that we can transfer clear title of the Washington residence into the trust?  (Wife would be sole heir, no kids outside the marriage).
