In Pennsylvania, a "lis pendens" is only available when title to real property is at issue in a case or suit.[1] Lis pendens cannot be used to encumber a property based on claims for money damages before judgment is entered.[2]
Underwriting Tips
- Although a lis pendens should not be entered when only money damages are at issue, a lis pendens improperly entered on a docket, or recorded with the Recorder of Deeds, would still be a cloud on title and should be discharged or excepted from the transaction.
