Full Text of § 751.25
Plain-English Summary
This section handles the mechanics of putting the § 751.23 notice on the public record. Once the notice is filed for recordation, the recorder records it the same way a lis pendens is recorded under § 409 — the same familiar procedure used for the notice of pendency of action required elsewhere in this chapter by § 751.13.
Using the § 409 recording method keeps the process consistent with how California title records generally handle notices of this kind, rather than creating a separate recording mechanism unique to destroyed-records claims.
