A nice CYA letter from the PR to the dead-beat dad explaining the law could also serve as exhibit A to a response to a demand letter from dead-beat dad's attorney (if he could find one). </div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Feb 27, 2025 at 3:32 PM Paul Neumiller <<a href="mailto:pneumiller@hotmail.com">pneumiller@hotmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg6046503541042802096">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I am assisting family probate Dad’s estate and the creditor’s notice period expired last year. PR and I have received this year a “Notice of Lien” from DSHS regarding a
lien on the proceeds of a dead-beat dad/son beneficiary. Lien not recorded against house, and we closed on the sale of the Dad’s house. Lien not filed in the probate but PR says the son is a dead-beat dad. Do we have to honor it and does it get paid directly
by the PR and come out of the son’s portion (fortunately, there is enough money to do this)? What is the PR’s responsibility and liability here?
