<div dir="ltr">I recently dealt with this question. I was told that a quitclaim is not a good way to go since it can impact future sale of the property negatively. I just used the same language in the current warranty deed on file for the property and the following language regarding mere change in identity: <div><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"times new roman",serif;letter-spacing:-0.1pt"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"times new roman",serif;letter-spacing:-0.1pt">THE GRANTOR </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"times new roman",serif">______, an

<br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 9, 2016 at 5:11 PM, rdafg <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gibbslawoffices@gmail.com" target="_blank">gibbslawoffices@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Under WAC 458-61A-211(1), transferring a property to an LLC is exempt from excise tax as a mere change of identity. For the quitclaim deed recitation of consideration, is it sufficient to state something like "for and in consideration of mere change of identity under WAC 458-61A-211(1) [...]?"<br>
<br>
I saw a recorded quitclaim under similar circumstances state "in consideration of zero dollars and zero cents ($0.00) mere change of identity, WAC 458-61A-211(1)."<br>
<br>
Is one preferable over the other?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
