</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We were preparing to close on a real estate sale from an estate when we discovered a 30+ year old deed of trust that had not been reconveyed. The Beneficiaries, a husband and wife, are long since deceased. The grantor is deceased, thus
the probate. Chicago Title Company, the Trustee, no longer operates in Kitsap County.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My initial thought was that RCW 61.16.030 passed in 2013 would permit a quick reconveyance. However, my reading of that statute shows that it requires evidence of payment. The DOT Note was probably paid off many years ago, however, we
have no proof that it was. So, I then tried to contact the heirs of the beneficiaries with no success.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there anything short of a quiet title action that can be done to clear this old DOT?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
