Lis pendens is the Latin term meaning "suit pending." A lis pendens is a notice filed in the office of land records by the plaintiff that the ownership of real property is the subject of a legal controversy. Anyone who purchases the property takes it subject to any claims asserted in the action. This notice secures a plaintiff's claim on the property so that the sale, mortgage, or encumbrance of the property will not diminish plaintiff's rights to the property, should plaintiff prevail in its case.
