[WSBARP] How to correct property records in King County

[Jeff at bellanddavispllc.com]

I had this happen in Snohomish County when the Assessor refused to remove the deceased joint tenants after their death certificates were recorded.  I finally wrote the Civil Deputy Prosecutor who took care of it.

Hi Keil,

 

If the deed itself is correct and the county just did not update the owner/taxpayer accurately you can ask them to fix it., If you email kingcountytreasurer at kingcounty.gov <mailto:kingcountytreasurer at kingcounty.gov>  with the issue they usually say it will take 3-4 weeks to correct. I email them the facts and request for the update and attached the relevant documents

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?
