New Jersey § 2a:15-7

§ 2a:15-7.

a. In action to enforce or declare rights in, or concerning, or for partition of

real estate, wherein plaintiff's claim arises out of a written instrument, which instrument

either is executed by defendant and identifies such real estate or appears of record

with respect to the title thereto, from and after the filing of a notice of lis pendens,

any person claiming title to, interest in or lien upon the real estate described in

the notice through any defendant in the action as to which the notice is filed shall

be deemed to have acquired the same with knowledge of the pendency of the action,

and shall be bound by any judgment entered therein, as though he had been made a party

thereto and duly served with process therein. b. In an action other than one specified in subsection a. of this section, if a notice

of lis pendens is filed, that notice shall have the same effect as provided in subsection

a., until the entry of a determination by the court pursuant to this subsection. When a notice of lis pendens is filed in such an action, the plaintiff shall, within

three days after the filing of the notice of lis pendens, serve upon the defendant

a copy of the notice of lis pendens and of the complaint. Any party claiming an interest in the real estate affected by the notice of lis

pendens may, at any time thereafter, file with the court, in accordance with the Rules

Governing the Courts of the State of New Jersey, except as otherwise provided herein,

a motion for a determination as to whether there is a probability that final judgment

will be entered in favor of the plaintiff sufficient to justify the filing or continuation

of the notice of lis pendens. The plaintiff shall bear the burden of establishing such probability. The court shall, after hearing and within 10 days, enter a determination as to whether

there is a sufficient probability that final judgment will be entered in favor of

the plaintiff. If the court determines that there is a sufficient probability of final judgment

in favor of the plaintiff, the notice of lis pendens shall be continued of record

and shall have the same effect as provided in subsection a. If the court fails so to determine, the court shall forthwith order the notice of

lis pendens discharged of record.
