Lis Pendens

A lis pendens, is a document created by a party to litigation that typically involves a claim that may impact the rights of parties to real property. While lis pendens’ are recorded in the real property records of the county in which litigation is pending or real property at issue in the litigation may be located, it does not create a lien. Rather, it serves to provide notice to anyone who may be interested in or taking an interest in certain property that there may be an issue with respect to the transferor’s ability to transfer the property or provide clear title.
