<p class="MsoNormal">PC has called with a real estate excise tax question. PC was involved in a committed intimate relationship at least 25 years ago. In the CIR, PC and former partner purchased a house together. As these things go, the relationship ended.
The parties agreed that a new house would be purchased for former partner and one was. The parties also agreed that said partner would sign a quit claim deed. And as these things go, 20 some years later that hasn’t happened.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They would like to clean this up and record a quit claim deed. On excise tax, do you think it is due or do you think that it is an exempt under WAC 458-61A-215, clearing or exiting title, and additions to title. The transfer incident
to a dissolution of marriage or domestic partnership would not seem to apply as no action was filed and thus there is no order or decree.
