<div style="color:black;font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Regarding the lack of probate affidavit, we have communicated with the Department of Revenue on that and cited to, in our mind, clear authority for the fact they cannot require an affidavit since it is not a transfer of an interest in real property. They would not agree and did not really cite to any authority. The local people are just doing what DOR is telling them to do.

<div dir="ltr">A week or two ago we had a discussion regarding Jefferson County requiring an real estate excise tax affidavit to record a transfer on death deed. I took another listmate's advice and sent in the affidavit with the $10 but with a letter saying it was done under protest and cited the WAC provisions showing no need for such a process. Yesterday, we learned we were right no need for the affidavit with such a deed. HOWEVER, because I was also recording an Affidavit of Lack of Probate, on another matter, it was that document that required the REETA. WHAT!

</div>
<div dir="ltr">I recently researched the WACs on this. Recording the community property agreement or transfer on death deed, which does not affect title at that moment, does not require a REETA, because no change of title occurs then.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Later, when someone dies and title changes, even just to remove a spouse, then the REETA is required, and there are clear exemptions to cite on the REETA.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">So the WACs do require a REETA for ?activating? the community property agreement (transfer after the death of the first spouse), and they do require a REETA when one of the TOD deed grantors dies thereby ?activating? a transfer of title.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">The confusion, I think, lies in that no REETA is required when TOD deeds and CP agreements are initially recorded (for ?future? or ?contingent? changes to title that are merely being memorialized for a possible future change of title).<br>
</div>

<div dir="ltr">Probate estate intends to sell two King County properties. One is a multiple unit apartment, fully leased up, and one single family residence with a month to month tenant. Obviously, the estate does not want to evict the apartment tenants. Further, the estate does NOT intend to evict the single family home tenant. I have read to City of Seattle's 90 day notice of intent to sell "good-caused" exception, but I assume that such notice does not have to be given for either sale to close because there is no intent to terminate the tenancies. Am I reading this wrong. The question was raised by the current property managers.<br>

<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I recently researched the WACs on this. Recording the community property agreement or transfer on death deed, which does not affect title at that moment, does not require a REETA, because no change of title occurs then.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Later, when someone dies and title changes, even just to remove a spouse, then the REETA is required, and there are clear exemptions to cite on the REETA.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">So the WACs do require a REETA for ?activating? the community property agreement (transfer after the death of the first spouse), and they do require a REETA when one of the TOD deed grantors dies thereby ?activating? a transfer of title.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">The confusion, I think, lies in that no REETA is required when TOD deeds and CP agreements are initially recorded (for ?future? or ?contingent? changes to title that are merely being memorialized for a possible future change of title).<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Hope that helps even one person, ha ha!<br>

<div dir="ltr">Benton County has recently been requiring a REETA to record a Lack of Probate Affidavit. Further, if you want to attach a CPA or Will to the affidavit, they are charging additional recording fees, which they have not done in the past.<br>

</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>

<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">A week or two ago we had a discussion regarding Jefferson County requiring an real estate excise tax affidavit to record a transfer on death deed. I took another listmate?s advice and sent in the affidavit with the $10 but with a letter saying it was done under protest and cited the WAC provisions showing no need for such a process. Yesterday, we learned we were right no need for the affidavit with such a deed. HOWEVER, because I was also recording an Affidavit of Lack of Probate, on another matter, it was that document that required the REETA. WHAT! I am not going to waste my time researching the WAC?s for such a requirement. At least here in Clallam County, we are never required to include the REETA when recording such a lack of probate affidavit or even a community property agreement. County Treasurers? creativity, or obstructionism, never ceases to amaze me. At least it is Friday!<br>
