lis penses vs probate in Ilinois

[Robert D.]

I have a question regarding probate vs lis pendens. The property goes to the judicial sale (homeowner deceased, left balance on the mortgage) but looks like there is a probate involved as well (probate was recorded after lis pendens). what would happen if the 3rd party bidder other than a bank bid on the property and won at the auction ? are we talking about 2-3yrs battle in court or the probate would be wiped off the PIN just like any other lien ?
