<p>I'm not sure it matters where the couple lives, presumably the
grant of the joint tenancy interest was a gift, and therefore the
separate property of the grantee spouse. I'm making the
assumption, however, that Washington law would control given we
are dealing with real property, although it's unlikely a non-CP
state would have a different result.</p>
<p>I would think a title company would have the same opinion, given
that unless RCW 6.13.060 applies (which it doesn't seem to here),
I've seen that they will accept just the signature of the spouse
in title.</p>
<p>But yeah, it would be "safer" to have the other spouse join.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I love it when clients “do their own thing”
as they know more then, say you lawyers. Client, for estate
planning purposes, quit clamed from herself, to herself as a
single woman and to X, a married woman as joint tenants with
right of survivorship. Client now wants to take that woman
off title, and apparently “X” is willing to sign a quit claim
deed to do that. However, what about “X”’s spouse. They live
on the east coast in a non-community property state. This is
more of a title issue, but would it be safer to also have
“X”’s spouse sign the quit claim deed? In the deed creating
the JTWROS did not say “X” took her interest “as her separate
property.”<o:p></o:p></p>
