Lis Pendens

1. Describing property or another asset subject to a pending lawsuit. Because the new owner of such a property or asset is subject to the same lawsuit, it can be difficult or impossible to sell a lis pedens property.

2. Public announcement of a pending lawsuit.

The term is Latin for "suit pending."

lis pendens

A document recorded in the real estate records, putting all people on notice that a lawsuit has been filed that will affect title to the described property.
