[WSBARP] Release of Lis Pendens

[John McCrady]

The title company should be able to puzzle out the intention of the release of Lis pendens.  That being said, since it would be pretty easy to reference the original Lis pendens recording numbers in the release, why not try to get them inserted.

Subject: [WSBARP] Release of Lis Pendens

Colleagues,

I have a case in which the claimant (adverse party) recorded a lis pendens and, later, an amended lis pendens against my client's property.  The case has been resolved and it is time to release the lis pendens.  In the recorded release provided by opposing counsel, the case number, legal description of the property, and tax parcel number are listed.  However, the documents being released (i.e., recording numbers of the original lis pendens and amended lis pendens) are not reflected in the document.  Down the road, when my client goes to list the property for sale, will a title company find title clouded due to the failure of the release of lis pendens to specifically reference the recording numbers of the original lis pendens and amended lis pendens?

Thank you in advance,
