<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">This is the redemption statute that governs how those redemption quotes need to be calculated is RCW 6.23.020. It is silent on costs to improve the property that are not necessary
to protect the property from an interim foreclosure sale.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are the rights to redeem transferable via quit claim deed made after the judgment? The term successor in the statute (rcw 6.23.010) includes successors to the judgment debtor, but if the redemption period was 8 months chances are the plaintiff in the foreclosure
case waived their rights to deficiency and the foreclosure decree was entered "in rem" not against a judgment debtor. There might be an argument that the post judgment transfer doesn't qualify as a "successor" as defined under the statute and intended by
the legislature.
