Questions answered? Let's get started!

When a Lis Pendens is filed it gives constructive notice that a case in pending on a parcel of real property. When a case has been resolved or abandoned it is prudent to file a Cancellation of Lis Pendens. If the sale of a property is held up because the plaintiff didn't file a Cancellation Notice, he/she could be held liable for losses and damages. Once the Cancellation of Service form has been filed, it is important to notify the defendants and interested parties, that such action has been taken. We include a Certificate of Certification form to provide documentation of service provided. Often in a civil action involving real property, there are multiple parties because of lien holders, spouses, easement rights, etc. This form provides space for such.

9-11-5. Service and filing of pleadings subsequent to the original complaint and other papers
(a) Service -- When required. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, every order required by its terms to be served, every pleading subsequent to the original complaint unless the court otherwise orders because of numerous defendants, every written motion other than one which may be heard ex parte, and every written notice, appearance, demand, offer of judgment, and similar paper shall be served upon each of the parties. However, the failure of a party to file pleadings in an action shall be deemed to be a waiver by him or her of all notices, including notices of time and place of trial and entry of judgment, and all service in the action, except service of pleadings asserting new or additional claims for relief, which shall be served as provided by subsection (b) of this Code section.

3 stars for ease of use on the website. Subracted 2 stars for the forms being PDFs that you are unable to complete online, they have to be printed. Very inefficient.

Easy to download and use the forms, however two forms needed for my county recording were not included.

Reply from Staff

Thank you for your feedback Frank. We'll look into finding and including the additional supplemental documents. Sometimes supplemental documents have to be generated by the county's system, specific to the transaction.

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.

I downloaded the Lady Bird deed. The process was quick and easy to download. Just select your county, fill out the form. You will need the property description from your original deed. In my case I had to go downtown Wayne County (Detroit). (Make an appt online). 1st you will have to get the property tax certified to ensure all taxes are paid to date (5th floor at the Wayne County Treasurer office). Give them the form you just filled out and they will stamp certified $5. After that take the form to the Register of Deeds (7th floor) appt needed. $18. Make sure it is properly notarized and all signatures completed. Once approved, they will scan it, stamp it, give it back with a receipt and mail a copy also. All Done. Worked beautifully. My co worker go a lawyer and paid over $250. I just used deeds.com and total for forms and going downtown with notarizing was less than $40 Yea!
