[WSBARP] Does the Community Property Agreement need to be recorded

[Jennifer L White]

I agree with Roger - I would record the original CP agreement. That way, if he loses it again you're covered. A 'particular' title company could require a probate and refuse to insure with just a LOPA.

Listmates,

This is really a title insurer question.  Client's spouse passed.  Client could not find the original community property agreement.  We, therefore, recorded an Affidavit of Lack of Probate which included the Death Certificate and the Decedent's Will that left everything to Client.  I, believe, that will be sufficient to clear title to Client's home.  Of course, Client now finds the original CP.  Do I now need to record the CP?  THE ALOP was recorded just under a month ago and the County Assessor has yet to pick it up.
