What it can help identify
The notice may provide the county, index number, parties, property description or address and filing information that can help locate the related court case.
What it does not tell you by itself
A lis pendens alone does not explain every filing, the homeowner's defenses, the current stage, whether the case was resolved or whether a sale is scheduled.
Review the complete record
Match the notice to the case caption, index number, property and subsequent docket activity. Conflicting information should be held for manual verification.
Information to gather
- County and index number
- Plaintiff and defendants
- Property information
- Filing date
- Later discontinuance, judgment or sale activity
