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.
We typically see lis pendens recorded in several types of cases, including: quiet title, specific performance, easement cases, partition, adverse possession, wrongful eviction, and several other types of real property claims.
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.
