Quiet Title Action
A lawsuit to establish a party's title to real property against anyone and
everyone, and thus "quiet" any challenges or claims to the title. Such a suit
usually arises when there is some question about clear title, there exists some
recorded problem (such as an old lease or failure to clear title after payment
of a mortgage), an error in description which casts doubt on the amount of
property owned, or an easement used for years without a recorded description. An
action for quiet title requires description of the property to be "quieted,"
naming as defendants anyone who might have an interest (including
descendants-known or unknown- of prior owners), and the factual and legal basis
for the claim of title. Notice must be given to all potentially interested
parties, including known and unknown, by publication. If the court is convinced
title is in the plaintiff (the plaintiff owns the title), a quiet title judgment
will be granted which can be recorded and thus provide legal "good title." Quiet
title actions are a common example of "friendly" lawsuits in which often there
is no opposition.
