[WSBARP] Abstract of Judgment Lien on real estate

[Douglas W. Scott]

*         My client obtained a Judgment against Defendant in 2008 based upon a loan default

*         I recorded an Abstract of Judgment against D's real estate in Snohomish County in 2008

*         D files Chapter 7 Bankruptcy June 2009 and Discharge of Debtor ordered in Sept 2009

*         My client was not notified of the Bankruptcy nor listed as a creditor

*         No motion was made to release the Abstract of Judgment against the real estate

*         My client finds out last week about the 2009 Bankruptcy

*         D still resides in the real estate

*         10 years to refile the Judgment in superior court expires July 2018
     I assume that even though client was not notified of the Bankruptcy proceedings that the debt is still discharged. However, the Abstract of Judgment remains a lien against the real estate. Any suggestions?
