Which notice indicates a pending lawsuit that may result in a lien against the property?

• A. A Lis Pendens Notice
• B. Constructive Notice
• C. The Chain Of Title
• D. A Suit To Quiet Title

Answer: (A)

A Lis Pendens Notice is the recorded notice that a lawsuit affecting the property's title or possession has been filed and is pending. Because it is recorded in public records, it provides constructive notice to buyers and lenders that the outcome of the case could impact the property's ownership or encumbrances, and it can lead to a lien if a judgment or settlement affects the title. Constructive Notice is a broad concept about presumed notice from public records, not a specific pending case. The Chain Of Title is the historical sequence of ownership, not any ongoing litigation. A Suit To Quiet Title is the court action itself to resolve title disputes, whereas a lis pendens is the notice signaling that such a dispute exists and may affect the property.
