Lis Pendens is Latin, meaning "Suit Pending" In Arizona a Lis Pendens is filed to notify the world that a case/action is pending on a parcel of property. The suit must involve title to the real property. So, if a mechanics lien is filed, should I file a Lis Pendens? No, because it doesn't affect title to real property, After the mechanics lien is adjudicated and a Foreclosure suit begins, then a Lis Pendens should be filed. Sometimes in a divorce, when one spouse solely owns the property. A Lis Pendens is filed to prevent the sale of the house, until the divorce is settled. A Lis Pendens is a very powerful tool, it basically puts a cloud on the title, which makes it very difficult to sell the property, and there are consequences if filed falsely. Without a lawsuit affecting title to real property, you should not file a Lis Pendens.

Formatted to meet Arizona recording requirements with ample space for multiple plaintiffs (person(s) who brings a case against another in a court of law) and defendants.

The process was fast and efficient. I did get a bit confused after entering info for my package but soon realized I had completed this part of the process and only needed to leave the page and wait for review of the document and then the invoice. It was pretty simple. After payment of the invoice I was notified that the document had been submitted. A few hours later I received notice that the document was recorded by the city. It was fast!

The guide I needed was very easy to understand and the template was easy to complete. I had a property attorney review the deed before I had it registered and she was impressed. She said she couldn't have written it better herself! Definitely worth the money instead of paying high dollar attorney fees for a simple task.
