The lis pendens is filed in the same court where the underlying lawsuit is filed. Once filed at the court, a certified copy of the lis pendens can be recorded in the county where the property at issue is located.

It is a notice that the complaint has been dismissed at the request of the plaintiff, and the notice of lis pendens, which is a notice filed in the place where deeds are recorded showing that the property may be seized to pay the debt, is also null and void.

Who can file a notice of lis pendens?

Preface: The words "lis pendens" are Latin for "lawsuit pending." Lis pendens are filed in actions which affect title to real estate, including foreclosures, boundary line disputes, estates (sometimes), injunctions (sometimes), and other like cases. A lis pendens is filed in the official property records and warns anyone whom it may concern that all persons whomsoever acquiring any interest in the real estate at issue in the lawsuit will take subject to the rights of the Plaintiff in that action. Answer: While anyone can file a lis pendens, the only lis pendens that are valid are those filed out of real estate-related actions, such as the ones I have mentioned. Even these may be vacated (removed) by the court, but the Defendant usually is required to post a surety bond unless the lawsuit was dismissed or a judgment in favor of the Defendant entered.

Who is the grantor in a lis pendens?

No one is a "grantor" in a lis pendens. A lis pendens is merely a notice put on public record that there is a lawsuit pending that affects the title to a certain piece of property. A deed has a "grantor" because a deed is a document by which an owner of property (the Grantor) grants, i. e. transfers or conveys, title to the property to another person (the Grantee). A lis pendens has no grantor because a lis pendens does not grant, transfer or convey title from one person to another.
