Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's Lis Pendens skill automates the drafting of recordable Notices of Pending Action for real property litigation across all U.S. jurisdictions. It handles everything from statutory authority mapping and legal description extraction to verification formatting and proof of service, producing a complete filing package ready for the county recorder.

Drafting a Lis Pendens requires painstaking coordination of case metadata, statutory citations, precise legal descriptions, verification requirements, and county-specific recorder formatting. A single error—wrong APN, missing mandatory language, or improper formatting—can result in rejection by the recorder or successful expungement by opposing counsel, wasting hours of attorney time.

CaseMark automates the entire Lis Pendens drafting workflow. Upload your filed complaint and property records, and the AI extracts party names, case details, and legal descriptions while mapping the applicable statutory framework for your jurisdiction. The result is a recorder-ready notice with verification, attorney certification, and proof of service—all formatted to local requirements.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your filed complaint and property records (deed, title report)

  2. 2. AI extracts case metadata, party names, legal descriptions, and maps applicable statutes

  3. 3. Review the drafted Lis Pendens with verification, certification, and service sections

  4. 4. Export the recorder-ready document in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

Which jurisdictions does this Lis Pendens skill support?

CaseMark drafts Lis Pendens notices for all U.S. states and counties. The AI maps the specific statutory authority, mandatory warning language, and recorder formatting rules for your jurisdiction, flagging any provisions that need manual verification.

Does CaseMark include the full legal description of the property?

Yes. CaseMark extracts the complete legal description and APN/tax ID from the deed or title report you upload, then formats it precisely as required for recording with the county recorder's office.

What types of claims qualify for a Lis Pendens?

CaseMark supports Lis Pendens notices for any qualifying real property claim, including quiet title, specific performance, foreclosure, partition, lien enforcement, and other actions affecting title or right to possession. The AI identifies the applicable statutory definition for your state.

Does the output include proof of service?

Yes. CaseMark generates a proof of service section that reflects your jurisdiction's specific service timing and method requirements, so the entire filing package is ready for recording.

Can I use this for Lis Pendens expungement motions?

CaseMark is optimized for drafting the Lis Pendens notice itself. While the skill captures expungement-related statutory provisions, dedicated expungement motion drafting may require additional customization or a separate workflow.

How does CaseMark handle county-specific recorder formatting?

CaseMark applies county recorder formatting rules—including margin requirements, header spacing, and return address blocks—based on the jurisdiction you specify. You can also input specific local formatting rules during intake for precise compliance.
