<p class="MsoNormal">Ever since they became authorized to practice law. ( I missed the memo) Last week Snohomish County refused to record a deed with the surveyor’s legal on the face. We sent a runner back ( can’t e record twice) with a legal from the title
company to attach as an exhibit ( with both parties permission). Recorder required the runner to hand write part of the title company legal above the surveyor’s legal before they would record. This of course made the legal wrong but it needed to record to
meet a 1031 deadline. Now we get to try to fix the mess. The counties are out of control.

<p class="MsoNormal">Listmates. Client wants to record a restrictive covenant against his own property saying that any future owner must elect to be a member of a certain subgroup of the HOA. (Disregard merger) Subgroup has use of certain facilities and is
responsible for specific maintenance. County refuses to record the deed unless the Grantee is “ The Public” I am not seeing “ The Public” involved in this. Thoughts?
