Needless to say when doing a foreclosure you don’t get alot of cooperation from the defendants. Often you don’t know if they are married or re-married, you don’t know whether the property is rented to tenants or exactly who the occupants are. These terms are used as catch-all phrases.
Jane Doe Lis Pendens? - Posted by Matt

While searching through public records, I often come across Jane Doe and John Doe with a lis pendens and usually some bank as the grantor. There is always a lot of them too, so I know that’s not their real names. What does that mean? Are the home owners unidentified or protected or what? Thank you for any responses.

Those folks are gtetting the pants sued off of them… repeatedly. LOL
A listing for John or Jane Doe, Spouse of Defendent, as well as John and Jane Doe, Tenant, will eliminate anyone from claiming they weren’t named, if either married to, or a Tenant of the Defendent.
Once that filing is made, you have been served in public record; period.
