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

[Jennifer Johnson]

You can get a quick response from DSHS's Estate Recovery Unit regarding
whether any amounts are owed once you make it through their phone tree and
figure out the right person to talk to.

If an escrow agent is involved, it is very likely that they have dealt with
this situation before and will know how to help clear that exception.
