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)

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.

Needed to remove a deceased person from my mother's title. I live in another state. Deeds.com made it SO EASY to accomplish. I loved the example forms showing me how to fill out the forms that were provided. It went incredibly well at the County offices (all 3 departments!). Definitely will use Deeds.com again!

Happy to give you a 5 star rating. We have never been a position to get changes on and record our own deed. You made the process very easy. Submitted my forms on a Friday, made one correction that was requested of me, paid our fees and the received notification of deed being recorded the next Tuesday. Wonderful work on your part and super easy for me. Thanks!

Wow! That was easy! I was expecting a more difficult process. Upload your docs and wait for a response. Which was minutes later. I would give it 6 stars.

I liked getting the forms but I was charged twice for some reason. I'm not sure what happened with that. Can you reimburse me? Thank you. Lanette

Reply from Staff

Thank you for your feedback Lanette. In review, it looks like your first payment was declined, second one was approved and processed. What you are seeing is one payment and a hold placed by your financial institution for the declined attempt. We are not sure why they do this but the hold usually falls off after a few day depending on their policy. If you have further questions about this you can contact your financial institution and they will explain. Have a great day.
