Questions answered? Let's get started!

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)

AMAZING! Easy to use, reasonable fee - and get MUCH MORE than just a deed form. I ordered a "deed" and received a whole "package," including a guide and the jurisdiction's costs schedule and cover page that would be needed to record the deed - even included a Certificate of Transfer that is not required for a deed but something I needed for a different transaction. The website was extremely easy to use and the cautions about not disclosing personal information were so clear and personal, they made me feel secure in knowing this site was not trying to rip me off. Very professional. Well done.

Not good. The blanks on the form, supposedly especially tailored for the specific county, didn't have enough space for a document name or the doc #. I had to retype the whole doc myself.

Reply from Staff

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the form did not provide enough room for the prior document information you needed to enter. We have canceled the order and reversed the payment. We are also reviewing the field spacing for the prior document title and recording number so we can improve the form. No further action is needed from you.
