Re: real estate

This is a complicated issue and you should really have a lawyer review the documents.

Re: real estate

Not enough facts are given here to give a proper opinion, and no opinion can really be given without a review of the note and deed of trust, and more facts.

If you have a deed of trust recorded to collateralize the note, and a lis pendens is later filed, the lis pendens is probably junior, and will be wiped out in a trustee's sale. However I cannot say that for certain, as stated above.

See a real estate attorney who does foreclosures. Your attorney fees can possibly be added to the foreclosure (trustee's sale in most cases.)

Best regards,
