The principle of lis pendens safeguards the interests of all parties in a property dispute, maintaining the status quo until the case is resolved, thus preventing fraudulent or prejudicial transactions during litigation.
A notice of pendency shall be effective for a period of three years from the date of filing. Before expiration of a period or extended period, the court, upon motion of the plaintiff and upon such notice as it may require, for good cause shown, may grant an extension for a like additional period.
Short Answer: After filing a lis pendens, property sales may stall due to legal disputes impacting the title. Misfiling can result in sanctions or slander of title damages. Removal involves court-ordered expungement or voluntary discharge.
Lis pendens is a legal means for serving notice to anyone concerned with a piece of real estate that there is a claim and pending legal action against the property. It is important because it notifies potential buyers that another party has a claim to the property.
After paying the mortgage reinstatement amount, the lis pendens does not automatically disappear. Typically, the lender or plaintiff must file a formal notice of dismissal or release with the court to remove the lis pendens. This legal step clears the cloud on the property title, allowing a sale.
