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

Quiet titles are also frequently used to help individuals deal with vehicular ownership. Sometimes the state will refuse to register a vehicle because of confusion regarding the vehicle identification number (VIN.) An uncontested quiet title action can often bring clarity to the situation and the state will then register the vehicle.
