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

[John McCrady]

I would make the distinction that, although they remain in the chain of title they are not on the title.

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.       Jason   W.   Burnett Attorney at Law Reed

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?
