Thu May 18 14:30:09 PDT 2023

Oh Mark, if only an attorney! Judge, jury, Gate Keeper... the whole nine
yards!

Please, if anyone has addressed this fact pattern* before, I would
appreciate hearing how you resolved the issue.

*Grantee's name only on debt, sole liable; $20k consideration; gift of
remaining equity. How do I complete the Supplemental Statement???
