<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">I bow to the wisdom of these comments. I will humbly admit that I went off legal logic and a general concept/understanding, and I'm not the only one that shared the view - but doesn't mean it wasn't misplaced. Perhaps because of the crystal clear caselaw that a lis pendens is superlative, and unnecessary in a lien (see my case below), thus not common practice and little reason to run into a situation that belies the misconception.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">I'll even provide some legal points of contemplation, as I got curious:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">See <i>John Morgan Const. Co. v. McDowell</i>, 62 Wn. App. 79 (Div 1 1991). One contractor filed to foreclose mechanic's lien, recorded lis pendens; 2d contractor intervened to foreclose its own lien, without recording lis pendens. 2d contractor awarded judgment. Does not specifically address the question, but I think the general principles lend to argument that lis pendens is not improper (just unnecessary). (Caveat: I do think this changes when there is a bond in place preventing foreclosure, as per the original post; see my closing comments)</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">In <i>John Morgan</i>, there was a motion to restrain 2d contractor from recovery of judgment arguing subsequent purchasers were innocent purchasers per lis pendens statute. It's not exactly on point, but I can see an argument that as the court addressed whether a contractor <u>had</u> to record a lis pendens in order to preserve its action (answer: no) that hints that one <u>can</u>. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Now, doesn't <i>necessarily </i>mean that. The question of whether the 1st contractor's lis pendens was apparently never challenged. So the court didn't answer that question. Just whether you had to file one. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">The case confirms that a recorded lien puts any buyer on notice, and obligation to affirm status of the lien. (see at 82-83) So that negates the argument that a lis pendens is necessary/warranted to give someone notice that title (ownership) may be affected by foreclosure. Court specifically said so, and cited several authorities for it.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">But again, does not answer question of whether you <u>can</u> file a lis pendens in a lien (or other) foreclosure matter. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">But, then again: court also noted that a lis pendens was permissive, and did not affect substantive rights of the parties. So in other words does not have to be recorded to preserve rights; and (as per specific ruling referenced above) not required to preserve against future buyers so long as lien in place.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">One can extrapolate from this case, and I think a good argument that a lis pendens in foreclosure <u>can</u> be recorded, but is unambiguously unnecessary (thus perhaps why it rarely happens). I did not find any caselaw specifically addressing the question of whether a lis pendens recorded in foreclosure action would be improper; but only looked briefly. That said, I think given the language above, as the lis pendens doesn't give any further notice than the lien itself does, that it thus also doesn't over-reach, which is the purpose I think of damages under an improper lis pendens.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">That said - having gone down that road of twists and turns, on an alternate point specific to the question at hand: </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">My understanding of the original post was that there was a bond in place to cover the judgment, and question was whether lien-holder then needed to release the lis pendens upon request of owner. I say yes, if I understood these facts, as there would be no foreclosure and the lien at this point only to preserve that judgment. I don't know that is still an action affecting title? as there is no pending foreclosure. Just assurance the lien (money judgment) will be paid upon sale, whether sale proceeds or bond.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br>Doesn't that put it in another realm?</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><br><div><div dir="ltr"><div><font face="trebuchet ms,sans-serif" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2">Carmen Rowe, Attorney/Owner<i><br><br></i></font></div><div><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B-SsegebS6iBQmkwSkhNWFdCaWM&revid=0B-SsegebS6iBSWFDWVhkc3B3MURTV3h6QUR4OXJQUnhrRVp3PQ" height="74" width="200"><br></font></div></div><div dir="ltr"><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" face="Trebuchet MS" color="#660000" size="2"></font></div><div><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" face="Trebuchet MS" color="#660000" size="2">Phone: (360) 669-3576 (direct cell)<br></font></div><div><font face="Trebuchet MS" color="#660000" size="2">Email: Carmen@GryphonLawGroup.com<br><br></font><span><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" face="Trebuchet MS" color="#660000" size="2"><b>Mailing address: </b>1673 S.

Forgive not including the chain of excellent comments below, I'm on digest<br>
and did not want to inundate with the full digest chain ....<br>
<br>
But I wanted to echo Tom's analysis. I think any lien that does not have to<br>
do with rights to title (easement, adverse possession, real estate<br>
contract, etc.) is not an appropriate basis for a lis pendens. Anything<br>
that is a claim that *in and of itself* affects the scope of someone's<br>
rights to property is a claim dealing with title.<br>
<br>
The lien itself might impact title in a technical way, but only in sense of<br>
saying the property is encumbered by *a financial obligation. *that's not<br>
what the statute contemplates. It is not a dispute as to extent of or<br>
rights in title someone may have.<br>
<br>
And - why risk it? If there is a recorded lien, there is notice to the<br>
world, and will run with the property. A lis pendens is redundant, and<br>
risks attorney's fees etc. I once obtained a judgment for a client covering<br>
nearly $17,000 in attorney's fees (every dime incurred) challenging a lis<br>
pendens inappropriately filed. Different facts, but same legal principles<br>
discussed here. I just don't see the value. And I just don't see how you<br>
get around the fact that this is all about recovery of money.<br>

So by this reasoning, banks enforcing deeds of trust, either judicially or non-judicially, always first file a lis pendens? not from what I have seen . . .<br>

I agree with Jim. A lis pendens should be recorded to give notice when a lien is foreclosed judicially.<br>
<br>
Recording a lis pendens has a very different purpose than recording of a lien. While the lien simply gives notice of the encumbrance, the lis pendens gives notice of a pending action to foreclose the lien. After the lis pendens is recorded, any subsequent encumbrancer or purchaser of the property is bound by the result of the lawsuit even though they are not named parties. As a result, the plaintiff doesn?t need to keep checking the auditor?s records every day while the lawsuit is pending to see if he or she needs to add additional parties to the lawsuit and serve them with process.<br>
<br>
A lis pendens would not be necessary for a nonjudicial foreclosure. The Deed of Trust Act prescribes the types of notice and the manner in which they must be provided.<br>

So by this reasoning, banks enforcing deeds of trust, either judicially or non-judicially, always first file a lis pendens? not from what I have seen . . .<br>

Greetings from the middle of the Indian Ocean. I respectfully disagree. An action to foreclose a lien is an action that effects the title to real property. If it goes to a decree of foreclosure and sale, it divests the owner of title.<br>

Forgive not including the chain of excellent comments below, I'm on digest and did not want to inundate with the full digest chain ....<br>
<br>
But I wanted to echo Tom's analysis. I think any lien that does not have to do with rights to title (easement, adverse possession, real estate contract, etc.) is not an appropriate basis for a lis pendens. Anything that is a claim that in and of itself affects the scope of someone's rights to property is a claim dealing with title.<br>
<br>
The lien itself might impact title in a technical way, but only in sense of saying the property is encumbered by a financial obligation. that's not what the statute contemplates. It is not a dispute as to extent of or rights in title someone may have.<br>
<br>
And - why risk it? If there is a recorded lien, there is notice to the world, and will run with the property. A lis pendens is redundant, and risks attorney's fees etc. I once obtained a judgment for a client covering nearly $17,000 in attorney's fees (every dime incurred) challenging a lis pendens inappropriately filed. Different facts, but same legal principles discussed here. I just don't see the value. And I just don't see how you get around the fact that this is all about recovery of money.<br>

I have a shared well agreement form for use between two adjoining property owners.<br>
What I don?t have is a shared well agreement (or other proper document) that the current owner will record so that she can sell one of 3 parcels and each parcel has the right to water from the single well and each prcel will have an easement etc. running with the land.<br>
<br>
anyone have a form they can share?<br>
thanks<br>
