<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I do a lot of property transfers that are exempt from REET for various reasons but have not ever had a legal name change situation. Client needs to record an easement and now has a different name than when client
took title. Curious which WAC exemption is typically used for this. None of the listed ones seem to apply.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
