Watch out
Nothing specific to this format. The general rule below still holds.
What this does not proveA valid format only means the address is well-formed. It does not show who controls it or that it is the address the recipient gave. Compare the whole address with the source and send a small test amount first.

What is checked
L…(P2PKH, version byte 0x30) andM…(P2SH, 0x32) are Base58Check. Older P2SH addresses used3…like Bitcoin.ltc1…is native SegWit with a Bech32 checksum;ltcmweb1…is MWEB.- M… and 3… are the same script hash and can be converted; ltc1 cannot be converted to either.
Specification: Litecoin Core chainparams (version bytes)
No public example address is given here: the specification prints none, and a private person's address is never used as an example.
FAQ
Why does an exchange reject my Litecoin M address?
Some old services only accept the 3… form. The Litecoin 3 ↔ M converter gives the same address in the older form.
Is ltc1 the same as a Bitcoin bc1 address?
Same structure (Bech32 SegWit), different prefix and network. A bc1 address is not a Litecoin address.
