A liz pendens is a filing which informs the public of a dispute regarding a parcel of real property. For example, if someone is claiming an ownership interest in land, but is afraid that the person in possession of the land will sell the land prior to a suit being filed, then the person can file a liz pendens, informing a would be purchaser that the property is in dispute. There are heavy penalties if someone wrongfully files a liz pendens.
