What is a quiet title? What does it take to get one?

It is a legal procedure that is used to make a final determination of ownership of property. It eliminates (quiets) any competing claims to ownership. You have to file a lawsuit to quiet title.

If you already own the property and have a deed, but there may be issues from some previous owner, maybe one deed not transferred correctly, it is a motion that is done in court that clear up any past deed issues and clears the current deed holders to a full and clear ownership.

Often we encounter questions like yours here. The posting asks a very specific and technical question. But it leaves out the underlying cause that prompted the question. While we can (and have in your case) answered the question, the nature of the question leads us to ask why you asked. If you give us the background, we may be able to help you further.
