[WSBAPT] Statute of Limitations - Improper Transfer

[Brent Williams-Ruth]

Thank you all for the responses! I have some hope!

I have requested a complete property report (as the King County website is
not showing the prior conveyance, only that one sibling is listed as
owner/taxpayer) to find out more.

As always - the responses are much appreciated.
