St. Louis Lis Pendens Attorney

What Is Lis Pendens Or “Suit Pending” in Missouri?

If you file a lawsuit concerning title to real property, such as a quiet title action or reformation action, you may also file a lis pendens in the recorder of deeds office that identifies the real estate lawsuit. The term lis pendens is Latin meaning “suit pending.” As its Latin meaning implies, the purpose of recording a lis pendens is to give individuals searching the land records notice that a lawsuit has been filed concerning the property. Section 527.260 of the Missouri Revised Statutes outlines when a Missouri lis pendens must be filed.

Requirements for Slander Of Title Lawsuits in St. Louis

A lis pendens is misused when it is filed with the recorder of deeds, although no lawsuit concerning the property has been filed. Generally, the individual who filed the lis pendens is attempting to stop or delay a real estate transaction. A lis pendens that has been filed improperly subjects the filer to liability under the legal doctrine of slander of title. A lawsuit alleging slander of title generally must show that:

• The plaintiff has an interest in the property.
• The lis pendens should not have been recorded.
• The lis pendens was recorded maliciously.
• The plaintiff suffered a loss as a result.

We thought or old will and plan was up to date, we were wrong. Everything about a trust is what we needed. All done in 5 days. Wills go to probate, trusts don't. Just added trust as secondary beneficiary. Thank you Ted! Great customer service!

Where do I start?! Ted was amazing from beginning to end. After speaking with several attorneys who made getting a beneficiary deed sound incredibly complicated. Ted scheduled me the same week and had everything handled quickly and efficiently; we were in and out in no time.
Beyond his efficiency, what stood out most was his professionalism and kindness. He treats you like a person, not just another transaction and that truly makes a difference. I genuinely appreciate his approach and will absolutely recommend this law firm. I plan to continue to do a business with them moving forward.

Ted was very helpful in setting up our will and trust. My wife and I are in our early 70s and should have done this a long time ago. His cost for this service was very reasonable. We definitely recommend him.

If you need attorneys who will fight for you....look no further. I had a need to get out of a real estate partnership that went sour and needed to get out of a mortgage situation that was cumbersome (mostly emotional) to me. Through a referral from a friend I called TdD Attorneys at Law and got a same day initial appointment with Ted Disabato. Ted talked with me, not down to me, and suggested to do a Partition lawsuit. He explained, in detail what it meant, to my satisfaction. After hiring the firm, I was contacted by his associate attorney (Pitbull) Louis Teson. What a fine young man this guy is. He mediated an amicable agreement with my (former) ex partner and the rest is history. Thank you Ted, and thank you Louis. From the bottom of my heart!! P.S. Ted...you need to work on making Louis a Partner. 🙂
