[WSBAPT] Clearing title on sale with Transfer on Death Deed

[Nicholas Pleasants]

Transfer on Death Deeds have been around for a few years now, but this is my first time assisting a client with selling the residence after the grantor died. Title Report has an exception for potential Medicaid lien on grantor's estate. Any suggestion how I can go about clearing that? Title Company had suggested a Lack of Probate affidavit, but that seems like overkill. I'm slightly disappointed that the Transfer on Death does not seem to vest title quite so automatically. Thanks for any help.

Best,
Nick
