<p>I'm not sure what you mean by the county will presume. I think
the concern is more the title company, and what they will insure
for the buyer/lender.</p>
<p>We had a situation last year where title had apparently not been
eliminated/recorded, but the county had been assessing the
mobile/modular as real property. Our situation also involved a
probate, and the company that sold/placed the unit on the land was
also defunct and its owner dead. Making matters more difficult,
the information that is typically inside the unit was missing
(cabinets probably replaced), and it was located in King County
with their purposefully unhelpful staff, which practically require
a writ of mandamus to answer the phone or talk in person. Then
the icing on the cake was the escrow picked by the listing agent
was a known incompetent who basically didn't let us know she was
stumped for weeks until repeatedly pressed (she kept saying she
was working on it, when she didn't have a clue what to do). <br>
</p>
<p>Anyway, for those in a similar situation without enough
information on the mobile to eliminate title, I did find a contact
at DOL in Olympia who looked at the information we could hobble
together, who then told King County DOL to proceed with
elimination. If anyone ever needs that contact information I
could look it up. Once I got directly involved it only took about
two days for that decision to be made by DOL Olympia. Fortunately,
the King County DOL office acted promptly and the King County
Building Permit folks were not an obstacle, but they probably
could have been since they have a say in it too somehow. It was a
very stressful closing made more so by an incompetent escrow
officer.<br>

I had a probate last month where there is NO RECORD of the DOL
filings/title but there is no Title Elimination and so the
County presumed it has not occurred. </div>

<b>Subject:</b> [WSBARP] Is a manufactured home
real property in Wasington?</p>
</div>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a dissolution where a
manufactured home is community property. It sits on
the H’s parents property. It is permanently sitting
on the property. I understand that various
jurisdictions have various requirements to consider a
manufactured home real property, but I don’t know what
Washington statutes require. Any thoughts would be
appreciated. I posed this question to the DRAW list
serve because I’d also like to know what difference it
may make in dividing the community property if it is
real property or not.</p>
