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)

South Carolina Warranty Deed document is good. The example and instruction documents are marginal help for Trusts.
Thank you for your feedback, Richard. We’re glad to hear the South Carolina Warranty Deed met your needs. We appreciate your note about the trust-related guidance as well. That’s helpful input, and we’ll review the example and instruction materials to see where we can improve clarity for trust transfers.

The technology and service was excellent. The content was too limited. I was seeking to find out about 61b deeds on the property and that was not provided.
We appreciate your feedback Patricia.

I thought the process was fairly easy. The price was reasonable. I had a slight problem, some of the words were missing from one page of the documents when I printed it. However, after I saved it to my computer, I was able to print the page in full.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
