District Court of Appeal of Florida July 6, 2005, No. 4D04-962 (Schwartz v. Estate of Schwartz)

lead-opinion

GROSS, J.

This petition for writ of certiorari challenges an order which determined that a lis pendens was invalid. We deny the petition, because the 1996 notice of lis pendens was not founded on a duly-recorded instrument, so that it was no longer effectual in 2004, when respondent sought to declare it invalid.
