– Quitclaim Deed: This deed transfers the grantor's interest in the property without any warranties or guarantees. It is often used for transfers between family members where the grantor may not want to warrant the current status of title.
Complete the Title Transfer Form: Fill out the necessary title transfer form, which can be found on the Washington State Department of Licensing website. Sign the Title: Ensure that both parties, buyer and seller, sign the title transfer document. Signatures must correspond to legal names as recorded.

Make sure you have a valid Washington state driver's license and the necessary documentation ready.
Title Transfers For Inherited Vehicles The heir must provide a copy of the death certificate, documents proving kinship, and the completed Application for Certificate of Title. In Washington, no sales tax applies to inherited vehicles, simplifying the financial responsibilities involved.
In order to clear the title to the property after your death, your named beneficiaries must record your death certificate in the county real estate records and file a real estate excise tax affidavit with the county assessor to ensure the ownership and contact information are updated for real property taxation.
