Summary

This notice of filing of preliminary judicial report template may be used by a plaintiff/mortgagee in Ohio to file a preliminary judicial report with the court. This template contains practical guidance and drafting notes. This template may be used in connection with a commercial or residential foreclosure action. In Ohio, when a foreclosure complaint is filed, or within 14 days thereof, the plaintiff must file a preliminary judicial report (PJR) outlining the status of title to a date within 30 days before the complaint was filed. Before judgment is entered by the court, the plaintiff must file a final judicial report (FJR). Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 2329.191(B). The FJR updates the court's record with the state of title between the effective date of the PJR and the date of lis pendens.
