[WSBARP] Married Couple Deeding House to Wife to create separate property

[John J. Sullivan]

My only question is what about the wife’s interest? After the H deeds his to her as SP, is her share also SP or still CP? There’s no reason why a property titled solely in one spouse cannot be CP.

My understanding is the QCD would be from H & W to W to create separate property.  However, in looking at WAC 458-61A-203 it talks about transfers from one spouse to the other that establish separate property.  I know this is a real estate excise tax exemption WAC but it raises the question do I just need the H to quit claim his interest to W to create separate property?
