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 Montezuma County to use these forms. Documents should be recorded at the office below.
This Lis Pendens meets all recording requirements specific to Montezuma County.

The forms were very easy to use. However, the Mercer County cover page is an older version. You can find the recent version on the county website.

So happy to be able to track down where I purchased TODD forms and be able to sign in and find the forms and use the fillable ones ! I thought they were gone forever and I would have to repurchase or bother people to attain them!
We’re glad to hear things went well. Thank you for the review.

I just submitted a beneficiary deed and it was accepted immediate and then recorded the next day! I like that I receive email messages notifying me of the process. The process was super easy and seamless. It's saved me so much time that I did not have to drive to downtown Phoenix to have this document record it. I love Deeds.com.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

I couldn't even look for a deed because the website said that deed/title searching wasn't available. Very disappointed about it.
I'm sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience with the website's deed/title searching feature. It can be frustrating when a feature you were hoping to use isn't available.
We do hope that you found what you were looking for elsewhere.
