The lis pendens was filed by one of the two owners against the other owner. So the property was held as joint tenants 50/50. The one owner is suing the other owner because of a dispute with the interest. If I buy that property at a trustee sale wouldn’t that lis pendens be nullifed since the original case was between prior owners?

Odds are you will be able to get title insurance IF the Complaint isn’t challenging the validity of the loan.
