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)

While I was initially disappointed I could not go to the local County to file my paperwork due to Covid-19, I was thrilled to work with Deeds.com. Their staff was INCREDIBLY FAST, super knowledgeable and the whole process happened from my computer in minutes. Very positive experience.

Sign up was rocky. Tried to access documents and msg. said did not recognize my email (even though it had sent me an email). Contacted support and it was resolved. House transfer affidavit straight forward and easy to fill out.

Excellent website with examples on how to fill out forms. Even better was the help from the office of the county clerk. I called them twice and they were extremely helpful on how to fill out the forms. Kudos to them!!!

I was skeptical after experiencing other websites. However not only did we get the form we needed for a fraction of the cost vs going to an attorney, the additional resources (guides and samples) made the completion of the Enhanced Life Quitclaim deed quite simple, quick, and painless. We were having difficulty getting my mom to agree to meeting with an attorney or even considering a Lady Bird deed. Deeds.com gave us the ability to move forward with necessary actions with family members walking my mom through the steps, explaining the process and giving her plenty of time to find the needed information. She became part of the process which made it easy for her at a time when decision making was hard. We did everything in the comfort of her own home. I can't think of a better experience or service and I would consider Deeds.com for future needs.

I was very pleased and satisfied with the ease of use, expeditious turnaround and costs involved to eRecord my documentation to the Probate Court. I live in another city and state and your service allowed me to get what I needed done. in a matter of a few hours from the time I submitted my package for filing, within an hour. I received noted and stamped confirmation from the county clerks office the document was now on file with them. I highly recommend Deeds.com and will be utilizing your online services for any future legal documentation.

It all started out well, then I was abruptly told that I would have to submit the documents directly to the recording office. No explanation was offered and I wasted a lot of time on your website for nothing. Very disappointing, as the concept of e-recording is what is needed in 2026.

Reply from Staff

We reviewed your order and our support messages. The document uploaded for recording was a very low-quality scan that did not meet the county’s eRecording image requirements. Our staff asked that a clearer scan be uploaded, but the same image was submitted again.

Because the document could not be processed electronically, we advised recording it directly with the county recorder’s office.

E-recording systems require clear, legible document images that meet county standards. When those requirements cannot be met, recording directly with the recorder is often the fastest option.
