[WSBARP] How to correct property records in King County

[Mark Anderson]

I recommend recording a corrected deed.  The recording would be exempt from excise tax under WAC 458-61A-217 (new affidavit required).

Subject: [WSBARP] How to correct property records in King County

List,

Our client recorded a quit claim deed to transfer the property from two individuals to a married couple and where the wife took the husband's last name.

Although the Deed was properly recorded and shows up when conducting a records search, the Assessor's office did not update the wife's last name with their records they just added her middle name as her last name.

Is there an easy fix to correct this? Or do we need to record another deed?
