Your Guide is very good but does not explain precisely where one can find the Instrument Number for the originally filed Claim of Lien.

I would make just two suggestions. (1) Create and example showing multiple grantor(s) and (2) In the same example, show where and estate is conveyed to two or more people. It would help in knowing the correct format.
