What happens to leasehold improvements upon sale of property?

Upon the sale of a property, leasehold improvements typically remain with the property unless otherwise specified in the lease agreement or sale contract. The new owner usually inherits these improvements, which can add value to the property. However, the treatment of leasehold improvements can vary based on local laws and specific terms negotiated in the sale. If the seller has invested significantly in these improvements, they may negotiate for compensation or a reduction in the sale price to reflect their value.

What type of deed is needed for an acre for acre swap of equal value?

A quit claim deed could be used. A Quit Claim Deed is a deed that transfers without warranty whatever interest or title a grantor may have at the time the conveyance is made It conveys to a Buyer only what the Seller actually owns, if anything, and provides no guarantee from the Seller to the Buyer that the Seller has any interest in the property to convey. The rule to follow for a person accepting a quit claim deed is "Buyer beware". If it later turns out that the Seller's rights to use the property are encumbered by another person's interest in the property, the Buyer is out of luck and has no recourse against the Seller. A Different Opinion: I have seen similar conveyances executed by two simultaneous deeds. Each granting party conveys their property "for the consideration of" the other party's property. In other words, they swap property in lieu of a monetary figure. It's quite common. Deeds are generally executed and recorded on the same day. Any attorney could easily prepare such a transaction.

If a payment is missed on a private contract does Washington State law require that interest be charged?

Greetings fellow Washingtonian! The answer to your question is that the state does not require that you collect interest. I will assume you are talking about a real estate contract (the kind where the seller finances the property--not to be confused with a mortgage or deed of trust). If you are the seller, you are not required to charge any interest at all (my, what a nice person you are). But if the R.E.C. provides for interest, and a payment is not made, then interest will accrue on the unpaid principal. If there is a late fee provided for in the contract, then the late fee may be charged, and if unpaid, the seller may initiate foreclosure proceedings.
