Lis pendens are like property liens, and they can make properties unmarketable or non-saleable until they're removed. Notices of voluntary dismissal and release of lis pendens declarations are issued frequently when lawsuits are dismissed.
When a Release of Lis Pendens document is filed it must contain a proof of service which is an acknowledgment of service by the person served or a certificate of service. In some cases, the clerk will permit a document to be filed but will require the proof of service to be filed promptly thereafter. 9.5(d)

World class forms, great for someone like me that has no clue what I'm doing! Always better to let the pros do it than think one knows it all and gets themselves in trouble!

I tend to not pay attention to the details and then blame other people. Thankfully Deeds.com has my back when I make silly mistakes.
Thank you!

It was more detailed than the forms on other website, plus cheaper. I do not have date it was recorded in 2000 but did have date of warranty deed. Will that be ok with Recorder? Also did not want to date it today till I know when and where the Recorders office is located.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The Transfer on Death Deed form package was very good. But like anything, could use some improvements.
There is not enough space to fill more than one beneficiary with any level of additional detail like "as his sole and separate property"
The area for the legal description could be a bit bigger and potentially fit many legal descriptions. Or it could be made to simply say "See Exhibit A" as is likely necessary for most anyway.
The guide should indicate what "homestead property" means so the user doesn't have to research the legal definition. (which turns out to be obvious, at least in my state, if you live there, it's your homestead.)
It would be helpful if an "Affidavit of Death" form were included in the package for instances where the current deed hasn't been updated to reflect a widowed owner as the sole owner before recording with only the one signature.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Really solid system for determining what may prevent your documents from being accepted. I love the comments section allowing for fluid communication. I only wish there were automated emails for all those communications and once documents were accepted, but I did receive a couple personally-generated emails regarding the progress instructing me to check the site.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
