Introduction

When you are involved in real estate litigation that affects title or possession to real property, you need to know what a lis pendens is and how it works.  You need to understand what it means to "cloud title" and what it means to "slander title."  These are very important real estate concepts that every litigator and land owner should be aware of.

Attorney Steve, the real estate lawyer, gives you the legal definition of lis pendens and explains the process to follow to get this document recorded with the County Recorder's office to assist you in your state or federal litigation case.  For more information visit LisPendensLawyer.com.  We have sample documents you can view including a notice of pendency of action and a withdrawal of lis pendens which is used after your case is settled or dismissed.

Keep in mind the motion to expunge a lis pendens is always possible if the lis pendens procedure is being used for an improper purpose. This can subject the filing party to an action for attorney fees.
