I expect that the entity that filed the writ was responsible to file documentation that it had been satisfied and, depending upon the timing involved, the title company may have been responsible to ensure that the document was filed. The writ was filed by what entity (I don't need the name; just the type - a state or local tax agency, a private judgment holder, a mortgagee, etc.) Have you contacted that entity to see if they'll cooperate with executing the documentation you now need to lift the cloud?
