<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Property has about 8 years of back condo dues unpaid.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Condo is organized under the Horizontal Property Regimes Act--the old one. Per
<a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=64.34&full=true#64.34.010" target="_blank">
RCW 64.34.010(1)</a>, the lien provisions of the 1990 Act, <a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=64.34&full=true#64.34.364" target="_blank">
RCW 64.34.364</a>, apply to this condo.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">RCW 64.34.364 has a 3-year statute of limitations on back dues:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";font-size:12pt">(8) A lien for unpaid assessments and the personal liability for payment of assessments is extinguished unless proceedings to enforce the lien
or collect the debt are instituted within <b><i>three years</i></b> after the amount of the assessments sought to be recovered becomes due.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But it also has this, which says "all" unpaid dues:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";font-size:12pt">(12) ....<b><i>In a voluntary conveyance</i></b>, the grantee of a unit shall be jointly and severally liable with the grantor for
<b><i>all</i></b> unpaid assessments against the grantor up to the time of the grantor's conveyance....<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this context, "all" just means the most recent three years of dues, because collection of the older dues is barred by statute of limitations, right? Section 12 can't possibly mean that in a voluntary conveyance the statute of limitations
under (8) does not apply?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">[Note--it looks like the statute of limitations is changed to six years under the new UCIOA,
<a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=64.90&full=true#64.90.485" target="_blank">
RCW 64.90.485(9)</a>. But the "all" language is carried over into the new act as well, RCW 64.90.485(17).]<u></u><u></u></p>
