If you have run into any problem with the title to your land, including someone else claiming they own all or part of it, please contact us for a free consultation with a skilled attorney.
Most people never hear the term quiet title until it becomes critical for pursuing or protecting their own interests in a piece of land. A quiet title action is the type of lawsuit necessary to establish who is the rightful owner of real property — and to prevent someone else from trying to claim ownership rights or exercise a lien in the future.
Resolving Errors in Government Records — Establishing Ownership Rights — Clearing the Way for You to Sell, Divide or Grant Mineral Rights
Questions on land ownership can occur under a range of circumstances including:
- Your real estate may have been sold or passed on many times, with each transaction increasing the potential for a record-keeping error.
- More than one person may believe they have lawful claims to the same property — one by purchase and another by inheritance, for example.
- When property ownership is shared, a quite title action may be necessary to resolve who owns how much.
- Title problems may be uncovered while preparing to sell property, divide it or grant oil-and-gas drilling rights.
