Melinda is with us. Melinda is in Spokane. Hi, Melinda. How are you? Hi, I'm healthy and well.

Thank you. Good. How can we help? I am. My question, it's about estate and inheritance.

We, on our property, we, I call her my mother in love.

Someone she put an ADU manufactured home on our property and we love her and she wants to leave that home to my daughters, young adult daughters, eventually.

And it has a DMV title.

So if she adds the girl's names to the title,

I just want to make sure that there's no unintended consequences. Would she lose her

homeowner's exemption? Is there any risk to adding names to the title ahead of time?

I don't know because I don't know the law in the state of Washington, and that's what you'd need to find out.

I'm not worried about the insurance, but because this is a DMV title, a Department of Motor Vehicles title,

it's more like a car we're dealing with the title than we are a house.

And so, and car titles are sometimes dramatically different

from state to state as to how they're handled.

What I would tell you to investigate with the DMV is, is there a mechanism there in the state of

Washington that allows a POD paid on death is what that stands for?

And so you could put it, you could put it, it's almost like the beneficiary of a policy

that, can you put that upon death, this transfers to your daughter automatically.

And it may be, it may be.
