[WSBARP] Today's King Co Recording Tale of Woe - help!

[Craig Blackmon]

Listmates, any insight you can provide as to a good path forward would
be greatly appreciated. Here is my conundrum.

Client (grantee) has been and will be solely liable on existing debt.
Grantee paying co-owner (grantor) additional $20k. A gift of remaining
equity.

The excise tax should be due on the $20k. It appears to me (and now
apparently the Recorder's Office as well) that the Supplemental Statement
does not offer this option. I have now been told in the rejection notice
that tax is due on one half the debt as well.

The rejection notice includes a "call for assistance" [sic] phone number;
call, put on hold for five minutes, told to call back. Ahhh, just keep
breathing...

At this point it may be more cost effective to file a lawsuit. What do you
think?
