<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Any thoughts on how to get an accurate payoff from DSHS on an old child support lien. Standard residential
real estate closing. Originally the preliminary title commitment and file was opened up with a Spokane title company as closer. The parties then substituted me, as closer, at the last minute for various reasons. Seller has a very old child support lien
for less than $1000 reflected on the preliminary title commitment. I kept asking DSHS for an accurate payoff statement and no response. Because we had no time (foreclosure sale the next day) I went ahead and calculated an astronomical amount of interest
as a withholding to ensure it gets paid off which I’m currently holding in my trust account.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">In my email correspondence with DSHS I've come to discover that only title companies have the authority to get
payoff statements from DSHS in the absence of a DSHS release form executed by the judgment debtor. DSHS provided the accurate payoff to the Spokane title company who issued the preliminary title commitment (and has been handsomely paid for it), but local
title company <u>refuses </u>to release the DSHS payoff amount in the absence of a release from the seller/judgment debtor. I’ve taken the issue up as far as I can with the title company.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
