How to use a Notice of Furnishing in Washington
When it comes time to foreclose on a recorded lien, multiple parties are often fighting for a slice of the pie. Who gets what (or who gets anything at all) must be decided by the ancient rule of priority. Simply put, the rule states that the first in time is the first in right. But how can you ensure your claim is honored following a foreclosure suit? In Washington, claimants protect their interest by recording a notice of furnishing. This document ensures that their portion does not end up subordinate (inferior) to those of other claimants.
Although not explicitly required, every potential lien claimant providing professional services may, at their option, record the notice where no improvement has been commenced, and the professional services provided are not visible from an inspection of the real property. See R.C.W. 60.04.011. The notice must be recorded in the real property records of the county where the property is located. Id. The notice must contain the professional service provider's name, address, telephone number, a legal description of the property, the owner or reputed owner's name, and the general nature of the professional services provided. Id.
If the notice is not recorded, the lien claim will be subordinate to the interest of any later mortgagee and will be invalid as to the interest of any later purchaser if the mortgagee or purchaser acts in good faith and pays valuable consideration to acquire an interest in the property prior to the commencement of an improvement. See Id. So, if you don't stake your claim and a later buyer takes possession of the property without knowing about your lien claim, he or she takes title, free of the lien. This defeats one of the essential purposes of a lien, which is transferability to any subsequent purchaser (which makes it harder to sell or refinance property bound by a lien).

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.
Thanks for the kind words James, glad we could help. Look forward to seeing you again.

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.

The site delivered just what it promised - I needed a specific deed formatted for a specific county/state, and they delivered it at a great price. One note for improvement - it is not intuitively obvious that I could go back and re-download if necessary and this caused me stress, but a follow up email alleviated this. Great service!
Thank you for the kind words Bobby, have a great day!

This online service was very easy to use. I highly recommend Deeds.com. The quick response from the representative upon submitting your document is quick. If something needed to be adjusted they will send you message and you can in turn respond right away with a message. The pricing of this service is very reasonable.
Thank you!

I was very happy with my interaction. The county didn't supply the book and page which was what I needed. The tech refunded my money since I didn't get the info I needed. I will use Deeds.com again.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Easy to use and instructions were very clear. If possible, it would be nice to be able to download the entire package at one time - it was a little cumbersome to download each item separately. (Of course, I didn't know which of the items I needed, so downloaded them all)
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
