Bryce,     On serving Wells Fargo, I think you have to serve them at their main office which, as I recall is located in one of the Dakotas. Go figure. Anyway, we have the address. If you call our office some time this afternoon and talk with my assistant, Tammy, she can get it for you.     They likely will not respond but you do need to serve them. They are neck and neck with B of A as being  the least responsive institution going.

Hi Bryce - thanks - I've got the notice going out to builder and lienholder.  But the lien was not frivolous when filed because the builder didn't pay, so is it now frivolous now that the time to foreclose has passed.  If not, I am wondering if the fees allowed in RCW 60.04.181 would apply in an action to remove the lien.

Thanks again Bryce - maybe it would be helpful in quiet title cases and declaratory judgment cases to have a discretionary fee award statute like RCW 7.28.085 in adverse possession cases.  Gives a little more oomph to the demand to clear up the issue.

Whether holders of time-barred liens have an affirmative duty to release after statute of limitations expiration is an interesting query, something I run into every so often.

As with many statutes governing liens, I assume the duty to release under this particular Act is triggered only upon satisfaction of the secured debt, and not expiration of the statute of limitations for enforcing.

I can see the lienholders argument -- I don't intend to enforce, but.... I'm not obligated to release where there was no payment.

Ultimately, and even though RCW 7.28.085 doesn't authorize an action against a mechanic's lien, I think you can get the court to quiet it from title as time barred through a general quiet title or declaratory relief styled action.

If you want to recover fees, I would additionally look to the existence of a contract with a fee provision, and what recovery it authorizes.  Seems like there should be a contractual relationship between the sub and the owner for the lien to be authorized in the first place.

Under the facts you describe I would recommend a talk with the title company; if the lien has expired without any foreclosure action or bankruptcy the title company should be willing to remove it from their title report.
If they won't remove it, try another title company.

I?ve never had any luck with getting a title company to let this go.  I have, however, successfully petitioned the court to order the lien released based on the expiration of the 8-mo. foreclosure period.  In my experience, the trick to requesting fees (and actually getting them awarded) is to send correspondence to the contractor ahead of time with an enclosed release of claim of lien and let the contractor know that unless the signed release is returned within XX days, you?ll file a frivolous lien petition and request an award of fees.  It?s helpful to show the court you did everything you could before escalating the dispute.  It?s a delicate balance, however, as that can also increase costs and fees and courts rarely give a full fee award on a frivolous lien petition (at least in my experience).

Subject: Re: [WSBARP] The lingering lien

Under the facts you describe I would recommend a talk with the title company; if the lien has expired without any foreclosure action or bankruptcy the title company should be willing to remove it from their title report.
If they won?t remove it, try another title company.

Subject: [WSBARP] The lingering lien

Client has a lien filed May 2020 on his property for a furnace installed during construction.  General and furnace supplier got in a fight and bill remains unresolved.  Homeowner wants to refi but lien is a cloud on title.

Of course there is a claim against the contractor

No action was filed to foreclose so the lien is not foreclosable.  Does the expiration of the lien now make it removable as a frivolous lien?  Is there any other way to get fees in an action against the supplier?

See relocation cheat sheet attached.  The authority is 49 CFR Subpart D -
Payments for Moving and Related Expenses  - ?24.304 Reestablishment.  I did
a little digging - the $50,000 cap for non-residential reestablishment
expenses is set in RCW 8.26.035(d).  The federal limit is now $25,000 (the
CFR is currently being revised), but states can set their own amounts.
