How much time in California does a Defendant in a Lis Pendens action have to respond?
A lis pendens is not a legal action. It only warns anyone who it may concern that a lawsuit is pending, and the outcome of that lawsuit will affect title to a certain piece of real property. Therefore, you have as much time to respond to the lawsuit as the court rules allow. This time is listed on the summons which came with the lis pendens. If a summons and complaint did not come with your lis pendens, contact the clerk of your local court and/or an attorney.

The defendant should respond in concise and clear manner to all the charges that are outlined in the suit. For example, the defendant should state whether he or she is indeed liable for the debt for which they are being sued. Be certain that any statement given is truthful to the best of your knowledge, as the respondent is considered to be under oath and subject to the penalties of perjury. Please be advised that the defendant is not legally required to respond to a summons but by not doing so he or she acknowleges that the lawsuit is valid. In some states the failure to respond results in a judgment being entered in favor of the plaintiff.
