Questions answered? Let's get started!

In Colorado a Lis Pendens should only be filed after a lawsuit affecting title to real property has been initiated. The Lis Pendens gives constructive notice to the world that litigation is pending and if you buy the property you are subject to the outcome of said litigation. This in effect puts a cloud on the title and discourages any transactions of said property. In general, the law that governs Colorado Lis Pendens is CO Rev Stat 38-35-110.

A Colorado Lis Pendens shall contain:

The name of the court where such action is pending

The names of the parties to such action at the time of such recording, and

A legal description of the real property.

A Colorado Lis Pendens should be recorded in the office of the county clerk and recorder in the county or counties in which the real property or any portion thereof is situated. Example: If a property spans two counties, record a Lis Pendens document in each county.

(Colorado Lis Pendens Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example) Formatted to meet Colorado recording requirements.

Important: Your property must be located in Garfield County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the county recording office listed above.

This Lis Pendens meets all recording requirements specific to Garfield County.

Forms were spot on and able to save over $100 by not going to an attorney to complete the same documents. There were templates on how forms are supposed to be completed. You just need a notary to sign.

Thank you Stanley, we really appreciate your feedback.

Very fast and efficient. Easy to fill out but was upset the latest tax exemptions ruled in 2014 did not seem to be included. Exclusion of sale to blood relatives, etc. _ the one I needed.
