<p class="MsoNormal">Listmates, any insight you can provide as to a good path forward would be greatly appreciated. Here is my conundrum. <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Client (grantee) has been and will be solely liable on existing debt. Grantee paying co-owner (grantor) additional $20k. A gift of remaining equity.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The excise tax should be due on the $20k. It appears to me (and now apparently the Recorder's Office as well) that the Supplemental Statement does not offer this option. I have now been told in the rejection notice that tax is due on one
half the debt as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The rejection notice includes a "call for assistance" [sic] phone number; call, put on hold for five minutes, told to call back. Ahhh, just keep breathing...<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">At this point it may be more cost effective to file a lawsuit. What do you think?<o:p></o:p></p>
