Lot T is registered in the name of Teodoro. Lina, asserting ownership through a pending reconveyance action alleging misrepresentation by Teodoro, files in the trial court a complaint for reconveyance and records a Notice of Lis Pendens with the Registry of Deeds on May 1, 2025, indicating that Lot T is the subject of Civil Case No. 25-CR-777. On June 30, 2025, Teodoro sells Lot T to Olivia, a buyer for value who did not know of Lina's claim or the lis pendens, and Olivia applies for registration of the title in her name. (a) Identify the controlling doctrine governing adverse claims and notices of lis pendens in the context of subsequent registration under PD 1529. (b) Based on the facts, determine whether Olivia may lawfully obtain registration of Lot T. (c) If Lina secures a final judgment in her favor reconveying Lot T, what is the legal effect on Olivia's title and on Lina's claim?

Choose the Best Answer

The lis pendens has no effect on registration if the case is available for reconveyance; the registry may proceed with the title transfer to Olivia regardless of the case status Indefeasibility of title under the Torrens system, as modified by PD 1529; a purchaser for value in good faith and without actual knowledge of the lis pendens may register and take title, but the adverse claim remains subject to the outcome of the case. If Lina obtains final reconveyance, Olivia’s title is automatically extinguished and Lina’s claim is moot with respect to her title. PD 1529 requires that the registrant show absence of any knowledge of the lis pendens; if there is any knowledge, registration is denied.
