A Notice of Lis Pendens is a document that gives constructive notice of a pending suit to a purchaser of any real estate. The plaintiff files the notice with the register of deeds in counties where affected property are located. A Michigan Lis Pendens contains title and object of cause, legal description of property affected. 600.2701(1)
Typically, a complaint is filed a summons is served, then a Lis Pendens is filed when real property is involved. In Michigan a Lis Pendens can be filed with the complaint before the service of the summons; but, in that case, personal or substituted service of the summons must be made upon a defendant, within 60 days after the filing, or else, before the expiration of the same time, publication must be commenced, or service thereof must be made without the state, as prescribed by law. 600.2701(2)
The register of deeds shall record such notice, in a book kept for that purpose, upon the payment of the fee as is provided by law. A copy of such record, authenticated by the register of deeds, is evidence of such notice, and the recording of the same, in all courts and places. 600.270(3) The Notice once recorded will stay effective for a period of 3 years.

Their customer service is impressive to say the least. I sent them an email and I received a response that the issue had been resolved in under an hour. They even apologized for the inconvenience. I haven't used the forms I purchased yet but if they are anything like their Customer service, I know I will be extremely satisfied with my purchase. I will definitely return here for ALL my needs they can provide for in the future.

I like your service, but the error message I received yesterday was confusing. It said that Utah County does not record cover pages, so I should either remove the cover page or change the “order“ of the documents being submitted. This is ambiguous. I examined my package and it looked like the cover page was already being submitted separately, as a supporting document at the end, and there was no way to explicitly change the ordering of the submitted documents, that is up to your service. So I removed the cover page. But that makes me nervous, how will they know where to route it when it is done? So now I’m not sure if it was submitted correctly.
Thank you for the review, Kevin, and for laying out exactly what you saw.
The message you received ("Utah County does not accept cover pages for recording. Please remove or reorder to the back. Thank you.") came directly from the Utah County Recorder. We pass recorder rejection notes along as written, and we agree it was ambiguous. Rejection notes from recording offices often are, since they are written for people who file in that county every day.
Supporting documents always travel behind the main document they belong to, so there was nothing for you to reorder, and by your description the cover page was already at the back. With the cover page removed, the package matched what the recorder's note asked for.
On routing: nothing is mailed back with e-recording. The recorder records the document image, adds the recording information, and returns the recorded copy electronically through the e-recording system to us. It then appears on your package in your account and you get a message from us. A cover page plays no part in that, so leaving it out did not affect where your document goes.

The forms that I downloaded from Deeds were perfect for what I needed. I even checked with a lawyer to see if the papers would work and she said yes.
Thanks Amie, have a great day!

very good forms and easy to print and read. I need a notary form from a different state. We are both from the state of Michigan. This would make it easier to complete out of the State of Utah. Thanks Robert W.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
