About three years ago, son and daughter-in-law divorce, daughter-in-law is awarded home, stops making payment on Note. Stops paying property taxes. Tax foreclosure will begin this year.

So, it appears we must comply with providing the 30-day letter required under RCW 61.24.031(1)(b) & (c), before we can start the nonjudicial foreclosure action. I’m wondering if anyone else has dealt with this private lender situation when lender is not the seller, and what happens if the borrower requests a meeting or mediation. </span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"TypoUpright BT",serif">Jeanne J.</span></i></b><b><i> </i></b><b><i><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Bella Donna",serif">Dawes</span></i></b><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Attorney at Law</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Gore & Grewe, P.S.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">103 E.
