I always tell people do a preliminary title search yourself when ever you think you are interested in a property. County records can tell you 75% of the story.

A lis pendens had not been filed or recorded but the lawsuit was against the seller and the property, over an easement issue. The lawsuit dockett was in the county court records but the realtor nor the seller didnt disclose. Title company didnt catch it either. So now that I purchased the home, the neighbor who filed the lawsuit 4 months prior me purchasing the home. Has now five months later he attached me the new home owner to the lawsuit. Shouldn't title have protected me from any pending lawsuit? The City allowed the home to be built 10 yrs ago with execptions to the property boundaries on the lot so the driveway is short and everytime someone parks in my driveway half of their car is in the ingress egress of the road easement. Which the neighbor claims is interfering in his enjoyment of the road easement. Since attaching me to the lawsuit he has become hateful and harassing to me and my child. I am living like a prisoner in my own home to avoid him and his whole family. I didnt realize I would go broke from attorney fees and am about to loose the first home I ever bought and my sanity from trying to acheive a dream. I thought that was what title insurance was for? But they are denying my claim. Please help any ideas?<br>Property is in Missouri I was not disclosed and bought a house where the seller had a pending lawsuit, at the time of closing.

I'd never heard of it before but I'm surprised agents haven't. I suppose in a divorce there are often going to be disputes over who owns property so it makes sense that that could cause this kind of situation. It’s an interesting subject.

Buyers closed early Friday afternoon and then when the title company went to record on Monday they discovered a Lis Pens had been filed late Friday afternoon. Buyers are in new home, title company can't record, lender can't fund loan without clear title and buyers are sitting in their new home which really isn't their home. It is a frivolous lawsuit filed by one builder against another. Have two other closings with the same builder pending that might not close. Oy!*<em>*<em>Cindy Jones´s last blog post..<a href="http://varealestatetalk.com/2009/04/17/lowvall-offers-are-dead-on-arrival/">Lowvall Offers are Dead on Arrival</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Funny I should run across this post today.

Sigh. Second, wanted to say you did a great job of filtering all the jargen into a simple, yet complete, explaination of Lis Pendens.

Anytime I don't know the answer, the answer for my client is "I will quickly find that out for you" not "Go to this realtor's site..." I hope that realtor figures out what a poor job he/she is doing, or they won't be in business long.

It is a real shame that real estate agents still don't know this terminology. What kind of message is being sent to the consumer?
