California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 4.5 — Recording Notice of Certain Actions, Chapter 2 — Recordation Service and Filing, Section 405.21

An attorney of record in an action may sign a notice of pendency of action. Alternatively, a judge of the court in which an action that includes a real property claim is pending may, upon request of a party thereto, approve a notice of pendency of action. A notice of pendency of action shall not be recorded unless (a) it has been signed by the attorney of record, (b) it is signed by a party acting in propria persona and approved by a judge as provided in this section, or (c) the action is subject to Section 405.6.

Notes

Allows an attorney of record to sign a notice of pendency and allows a judge, on a party’s request, to approve one in a pending real-property action. Bars recordation unless the notice is attorney-signed, is signed by a self-represented party and judge-approved, or the action falls within the referenced eminent-domain exception.
