Discharging Lis Pendens in Ohio

Lis pendens, Latin for "suit pending," is written notice that a lawsuit has been filed which concerns the title to, or interest in, a specific parcel of real property. The notice alerts potential lenders or buyers that the title to the property has come into question because of the pending legal action.

Ohio's statutes do not provide much guidance regarding lis pendens. Sections 2703.26-27 of the Ohio Revised Code discuss recording locations for the notice and restrict property transfers while the title is subject to lawsuit. Section 5309.58 clarifies the same details for registered land.

Once a lis pendens is filed, what about removing it? The process varies by state, but in general, removal happens one of two ways: expungement (removal) or discharge. Expungement requires a judicial directive to cancel the notice. The judge's order gets recorded, according to state and local requirements, and anything else necessary for the specific situation. For discharge, the party who filed the original notice completes and records a document that officially withdraws the complaint.

The discharge form identifies the parties, the property subject to lawsuit, court details and case number, and any other information relevant to the specific situation. Because it gets entered into the property records, the form should meet state and local recording standards.

Discharging a lis pendens can be tricky. Take time to understand the rules. Don't hesitate to speak to an attorney with questions about the lis pendens process, or for any other issue related to real property in Ohio.

The papers allowed me to get done what I needed. But for the price I would expect a spell check. There were spelling errors when there should not have been any. Please proof read

Amazing fast service. From the U.K. I was unable to get a check in U.S. dollars. This solved my problem as I was able to make payment with a card. So much faster than sending the documents from the U.K. via the postal service. Easy to use site, very quickly processed. Highly recommend

This service is excellent. I submitted a Quickclaim Deed so my home would be in the name of a Living Trust I had just created. This was my first attempted at any of this and the staff person, KVH, who reviewed my Deed was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had and to make sure the Deed had the correct information before submittal to the county for recording. I started the process one afternoon and by the next day, the Deed was submitted to, and recorded in, my county. I will use them again whenever needed.

Thank you for being there for me when I couldn't get it done myself. I was a little confused with the operation at first but then became easy. I will definitely be using you again and again. Even after the pandemic is over.It's approximately 15 miles one way to downtown Orlando to do what you did for me sitting at my house

The deed itself was easy. I did notice that although the website says that the deed would exempt the house from probate, the deed clearly states that it might not. I hope that "might " is the operative word here.

The transfer deed documents are laid out the way county offices need, but I don't like the requirements so I'm going to leave a bad review.

Well, thanks we guess.
