Questions answered? Let's get started!

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.)

This Notice of Pendency has ample space to enter multiple parties
(plaintiffs and defendants)

The forms were easy to use but there was a software issue that made it impossible to get the county name to appear on the form in the correct place. It made the deed look a little sloppy

I'm transferring a property into a trust and ordered the QuitClaim Deed. Everything was pretty straight forward and user friendly. However, the Additional Information/Instructions for the Preliminary Change of Ownership Report skips from Section "I" to "M" and does not address "K". It would have been very helpful to have an explanation of the difference between the three options in that section. Thank you.

The website worked fine and I would have been happy to pay the extra money except the deed I needed was "not available". Ended up calling the courthouse anyway.
