<p><em>If it gets signed into law</em>, it becomes effective July 1, 2023 so we have another 16 months or so of registered land. It will be a pain for the recorder's office. They are supposed to reach out to all registered land owners and notify them that they have the opportunity to file an application of withdrawal for free no later than December 1, 2022 -- but in any event, registered land all goes away by July 1, 2023. The thing is, there is no master list of registered land owners in King County (not sure about the other counties). The recorder will have to look in the actual folios/books as well as on line and pull each certificate to determine is the property has been previously withdrawn - plus they do not have the registered land owners' addresses relatively handy. </p>
