(4) The legal description of the property.
(b) A court order or judgment under this section is equivalent to
cancellation of the claim of lien and its removal from the record.

notice of any of the matters contained, claimed, alleged, or
contended in the claim of lien, or create a duty of inquiry in any
person thereafter dealing with the affected property.
