Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

lawsuit involving a lis pendens

If a lis pendens is recorded against a given property which is in a land trust by plaintiff X, and a lawsuit is subsequently filed by plaintiff X naming the owner of the given property (who is also the beneficiary of the land trust) as defendant, is the lis pendens still binding if the land trust has not been specifically named as a defendant but only referred to in the text of the complaint?
