FAQs
Washington property owners commonly use warranty deeds, bargain and sale deeds, and quitclaim deeds. The right choice depends on whether the grantor is providing title guarantees and the nature of the relationship between the parties.
Leases for longer than one year generally must be in writing to be enforceable. Even for shorter terms, a written lease protects both the landlord and tenant by clearly stating rent, deposit terms, and each party's responsibilities.
A life estate is an ownership interest that lasts for the duration of a person's life. In Washington, life estate deeds are sometimes used in estate planning to allow a property owner to remain in their home while passing the remainder interest to heirs outside of probate.
Real property — also called immovable property or realty — includes land, buildings, and fixtures permanently attached to the land. Personal property covers movable items. The distinction matters in sales contracts because fixtures typically transfer with the property unless excluded.
Washington law sets specific timeframes and conditions for the return of security deposits and requires landlords to provide an itemized written statement for any deductions. Using a well-drafted lease that reflects these standards helps both parties understand their obligations from the start.
