[WSBARP] Is there a way to remove stale judgment liens?

[Jason Burnett]

My experience has been that title companies will automatically remove them as exceptions. But nothing is ever really “off” title in the sense that it disappears or is removed.

Subject: [WSBARP] Is there a way to remove stale judgment liens?

Listmates:

Client’s real property is subject to several judgment liens that expired in 2021 and 2024.  Is there an “easy” way to remove them from title, or must there be a quiet title action?
