Taking the Mystery Out of Lis Pendens
by Carolyn Thompson, Meadow Gold Dairies
Lis Pendens, what does that mean? The literal meaning of "lis pendens" is Latin for "suit pending."

Recording a lis pendens against a piece of property alerts a potential purchaser or lender that the property's title is in question. View full article
