[WSBAPT] Criminal Judgment Against Decedent

[Heather deVrieze]

It looks like it is around six or seven years old. He may be borrowing against or selling the property in the coming year or two, hence title insurance now to sort out a complicated chain of title. This is the last thing we are trying to resolve.

Because of the amount, I don't see an easy way to make this go away for less than just paying it, and have told the client as much.

Hello Heather,

How old is the judgment and is there any interest in selling the property? At $1,000.00, besides potentially waiting out the judgment time period, it may be more practical to pay, get a satisfaction of the judgment, and then move on.  However, I would be interested in other thoughts as well.

Best,

Subject: [WSBAPT] Criminal Judgment Against Decedent

In transferring title to an intestate heir of Decedent, a Superior Court Judgment has shown up. The creditor claim period has of course run, the probate is about to be closed, and the heir, who is also the Personal Representative is questioning the judgment.

The judgment arose from an assault conviction against the decedent for domestic violence against mom and other family members, including my client. My client is the sole surviving family member, and sole intestate heir of his father and brother, the titled owners of the property. He was also a victim of the domestic violence. He is appalled that he should be victimized again by having to pay for this. It is only a little over $1,000.

Any loopholes I don't know about, or is my advice, "this sucks, but the cheapest and most efficient way for you to receive clear (and insured) title to this property is to pay off this judgment," really the only option.
