In Florida, for a Lis Pendens to be effective it must be recorded in the county recorder's office, (where the property is located) 48.23 (1)(a).

A Florida notice of lis pendens must contain the following:

a.(The names of the parties.)

b.(The date of the institution of the action, the date of the clerk's electronic receipt, or the case number of the action.)

c.(The name of the court in which it is pending.)

d.(A description of the property involved or to be affected.)

e.(A statement of the relief sought as to the property.) 48.23 (c)1.

A Florida Lis Pendens stays if effect for one year in general. (The court may impose such terms for the extension of time as justice requires.) 48.23(2)

A Lis Pendens is usually filed by the plaintiff ( party initiating suit).
In general, every document filed in a Florida (court proceeding) (must be served) (on each party.) 2.516(a)

Forms used, created quitclaim deed that the county accepted without a second look (turns out they see deeds.com forms regularly via erecording and in person). Will be back for any real estate related forms I need and they carry. Will always be my first stop. Also, will use erecording next time, mad I didn't see it this time.

Wasn’t what I expected

Sorry to hear that your expectations were missed. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your expectations elsewhere. Do keep in mind that purchasing legal forms should not be an exploratory endeavor.

I really appreciate your forms according to South Dakota laws and statues. Your forms allow me to effectively do estate planning without extensive legal expenses. The "Revocable Transfer of Death Deed" is perfect to protect against extensive probate problems for seniors in retirement.

Thank you and May God Bless.
