<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">
<DIV>my 2 cents for free. the lien is misfiled but isn't the question
whether DSHS perfected its claim by the filing of the lien, albeit in the wrong
county? Isn't that a separate issue from whether a lien filed in Spokane
where there is no realty is assertion of a DSHS claim as required by
statute. My guess would be that there are enough trappings attendant on
making a claim that filing of a lien where there is no property is not making a
claim within the statutory period , so I think you are on the right track.

<P class=MsoNormal>I would appreciate any thoughts on the
following:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Spouse receives assistance for which DSHS is entitled to
reimbursement. Spouse dies in 2012 and DSHS records a lien in
Spokane. Spouse does not own property in Spokane. Spouse and
Surviving Spouse own home in Snohomish and Spouse’s name is not removed from
title. In 2018, Surviving Spouse dies and Snohomish property is
sold. DSHS wants their money from the sale of the Snohomish Property based
upon the lien recorded in Spokane. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>My though is that DSHS did not pursue the recovery within two
years of the Spouse’s death and the Spokane lien is invalid as to the Snohomish
Property. Therefore, DSHS should not be entitled to payment.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Any suggestions? <o:p></o:p></P>
