A Notice of Pendency can be filed in action that affects title to real property (or the possession, use or enjoyment of, real property, except in a summary proceeding brought to recover the possession of real property.) The Notice is a powerful tool because it provides constructive notice (from the time of filing of the notice only), that the property is under litigation and would be purchasers and encumbrancers could be held to the outcome of the litigation. Although not a lien a Notice of Pendency in effect acts like a lien. Such Notice of Pendency shall contain:
Names of the parties
Legal description of the affected property
Object of the complaint (Statute 6501.)

It was OK but unfortunately useless. The jurisdictions are now requesting that documents such as Notices of Commencement not only be recorded at their offices, but also certified. This last service is not provided by Deeds, or at least I could not find it in your website and did not receive a response when I asked if you did. Thus, we are going back to traditional means of recording/certifying

Thank you for your feedback Jose. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.
