1.  Spouses make community property agreement in 1969
2. Spouses record community property agreement in 2024.
3. Spouse 1 passes in 2026
4. Attorney (me) checks recorders' and finds that death certificate has
already been recorded (probably by funeral home?) but as a stand alone
document

5. Attorney (still me) wonders if she can record a REETA by itself in order
to perfect the transfer of the title from spouses as married couple to
Spouse 2 as a single person referencing the recording numbers of the CPA
and death certificate. Attorney can't get anyone in the recorder's office
to answer the phone
