[WSBARP] Married couple as tenants in common

[marc holmeslawgroup.com]

I've just been advised by an escrow company for a large title insurer that a married couple buying a home must take title as husband and wife and cannot vest title in unequal shares.  I have clients wanting to take as tenants in common with 80-20 split and have pushed back on this.  Am I mistaken in my understanding that Washington law allows married persons to take title as tenants in common and as such can take in unequal percentages?
