A vendor's interest under a real estate contract, including vendor's legal title to the real property, shall be treated as personal property for purposes of sale, but the sheriff shall give the purchaser both a bill of sale covering the vendor's interest under the contract and a sheriff's deed covering the vendor's legal title to the real property. In all other sales of personal property, the sheriff shall give the purchaser a bill of sale with an acknowledgment of payment. The sheriff shall return the proceeds with the execution to the clerk who issued the writ for payment as required by law.","path":["Title 6","Chapter 6.21"],"source_url":"https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=6.21.070","current_through":"July 15, 2026","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-06T00:36:00Z","sha256":"30ef0597ac39b993f5599239518f7b541fdc0e36c2a91bf6566b8fc0f9bfd314","source_id":"us-wa","stale":false,"prev":"us-wa/rcw-6.21.060","next":"us-wa/rcw-6.21.080"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
