No. Nothing to cancel, no memberships, no recurring fees.

When an action that has been commenced and affects title to real property, any party to the case may file a Lis Pendens. Once recorded the Lis Pendens gives (constructive notice to a purchaser or encumbrancer of the) subject (property). (Every person) who subsequently purchases or encumbrances the subject property, (shall be bound by all proceedings taken after the filing of such notice to the same extent as if he or she were a party to the action.) (RCW 4.28.320) A Lis Pendens is not a lien but in effect acts like one, because of the fear of being bound to the results of the legal proceedings.

Such Lis Pendens shall contain:
(the names of the parties)
(the object of the action and)
(a description of the real property in that county affected thereby) (RCW 4.28.320)

(Washington LP Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example)

I couldn't be more pleased or more impressed with the e-recording services I received from deeds.com and from my service representative, KVH. I was able to record documents in approximately half a dozen different counties easily and seamlessly, with a minimum of fuss. The turn around time was incredibly fast. The pricing was incredibly reasonable. I know I have alternatives because, in the past, I have used a competitor service for my recording needs. I won't do that again -- this was an exceptional experience. Thank you for your help!
