A lis pendens means that there is a lawsuit pending against the owners of the property, and that the outcome of that lawsuit may affect title to the property. Anyone who buys a property subject to a lis pendens risks losing all or part of the property, depending on the outcome of the lawsuit.
The lis pendens is filed in the same court where the underlying lawsuit is filed. Once filed at the court, a certified copy of the lis pendens can be recorded in the county where the property at issue is located.
**Preface: I am speaking from WA law. A lis pendens is a document which notifies the public that any persons acquiring any interest in the real property at issue in a particular lawsuit will take subject to the rights of the plaintiff in that lawsuit. I believe this nationwide generality will render me able to answer this question.** Since a lis pendens warns the public of pending litigation, when the litigation to which the lis pendens warned of has concluded, the lis pendens is automatically moot and void, absent a court order to the contrary. If the lawsuit is still active, then the lis pendens is, too.
