How Quiet Titles Affect Real Estate

When it comes to real estate, quiet title issues normally involve a complaint that the title is defective. They can be brought by individuals asserting ownership or by non-possessory interests in land, such as individuals owning an easement.

Some of the reasons a quiet title action concerning real estate may be necessary are:

• Adverse possession where the new possessor sues to obtain the title in their own name
• Fraudulent conveyance of property due to a forced deed or coercion
• Torrens title registration
• Tax taking issues
• Boundary disputes between states, municipalities or private parties
• Surveying errors
• Competing claims inversion, remainders, lien holders or missing heirs

All of these confusing issues can be fixed with a quiet title. Consequently, it is important to have a trusted attorney to guide you through this process. Without a reliable lawyer, you may find that you are facing difficult issues that you can’t understand on your own.

How Quiet Titles Affect Automobiles
