A more thorough explanation: Lis pendens is a Latin term that translates to “pending lawsuit.” In legal terms, it refers to a notice recorded in the public records of a property to inform potential buyers or lenders that there is a pending legal action involving that property. This notice serves as a warning that the property’s title may be affected by the outcome of the pending lawsuit.
Example: A lis pendens was filed by the plaintiff to notify potential buyers that there is an ongoing legal action affecting the property’s title.
