Brent: the statutory warranty deed would control. Only a deed can convey title.

Subject: [WSBARP] Partnership Agreement for Condo not Matching Deed

Greetings Real Property Colleagues!

I am looking over the fence from the Probate and Trust side as I am drafting an estate plan for a client who told me that they have a "partnership agreement" pertaining to a condominium where there are three parties with the following shares: 45/45/10.

I pulled the last vesting deed and property report and the title is simply held as by two individuals as husband and wife.

The partnership agreement was pulled from online and has several elements that I have found troubling as it related to the estate planning conversation - but my reason for writing is to ask for clarity about what will prevail. If there is a Statutory Warranty Deed showing ownership between X & Y, will this partnership agreement supersede indicating that Z owns 10%?

Thank you!
Brent
