When is Quiet Title Litigation Necessary?

Quiet title litigation may be necessary under a variety of different scenarios. Broadly speaking, an action to quiet title is necessary when two (or more parties) are in disagreement regarding ownership of a piece of property and the chain of title does not provide a clear resolution to their dispute. This could be because there is a cloud on the title (i.e., a mortgage or unpaid taxes) that casts doubt on the property’s ownership at a certain point in time, or because the chain of title is incomplete.

Disputes regarding title often arise in connection with real estate purchases and sales. Prior to closing, the purchaser will order a title search, and the title search will reveal an issue that gives the purchaser pause. To keep the transaction moving forward, the seller will then need to pursue a quiet title action in order to demonstrate that it is the rightful owner and can lawfully sell the subject property.

How Do You File a Quiet Title Lawsuit?

The procedures for filing a quiet title lawsuit are set forth in Chapter 65 of the Florida Statutes and the circuit court rules. Due to the unique nature of quiet title actions and the complex legal issues involved, it is generally advisable for anyone seeking to pursue quiet title litigation to engage a law firm experienced in handling these matters.
