where you obtained the QT judgment, it is unnecessary to also record the judgment. The title companies also do a search of the court records in a standard title search. At what point is Skagit County approaching you and demanding a REETA?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m at my wit’s end dealing with Skagit County concerning excise affidavits in quiet title cases. I’ve had several recent decrees quieting title (usually based on adverse possession) entered and recorded, and the County is insisting on
REETA’s being executed, with no explanation as to the basis or justification thereof. We’ve been filing them under protest.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m thinking of naming the County as a defendant in my next QT case, seeking a finding that no REETA is necessary and an order compelling recording of the decree without one. I wonder what the collective thinks about that?<o:p></o:p></p>
