FAQ
After the action is resolved, the attorney for the plaintiff should file a praecipe to remove the lis pendens and resulting cloud on title. Note that if a defendant believes a lis pendens has been filed improperly, it may make a motion with the court to have it stricken.
Lis pendens is a formal notice that there is a pending action, or lawsuit, that could affect the title of the property. However, it serves an even bigger purpose. When a lis pendens is filed, any future transfers of the property are affected by the pending action if it were to be awarded.

A Notice of Lis Pendens is a document that is filed with a County Recorder's Office in Minnesota to show that there is a pending lawsuit in court regarding that land. “Lis Pendens” is Latin for “lawsuit pending” or “litigation pending.”
In Pennsylvania, a Lis Pendens notice is a formal announcement that a pending lawsuit exists that may affect the title or claim to a piece of real estate. This notice of a pending legal action is filed in the public records, warning potential buyers that the property is involved in pending litigation.
The suit or proceeding must be pending before a competent court of jurisdiction. A right to immovable property is directly or specifically involved in the suit. The suit or proceeding must not be collusive. The property in dispute must be transferred or otherwise dealt with by any party to suit.
The notice is typically filed with the clerk (prothonotary) in the county land records office and alerts prospective purchasers and lenders that the property's title is in question.
Lis pendens are used most often in cases of divorce and foreclosure. For example, if a divorcing couple cannot agree on how to divide their interest in the marital home, one spouse may file a lis pendens in order to keep the other spouse from trying to sell the house until the divorce is settled.
A lis pendens can only be filed if an action is pending. Additionally, the pending suit must involve real property, such as land and buildings. If these requirements are not met, the notice can be expunged.
