Quiet Title Actions | Attorney for Quiet Title Suit

A focused starting point when you’ve hit a title problem and don’t know whether you need a quiet title suit, probate, deeds, or something else. We review your title commitment, prior deeds, and any abstract or closing documents you have, then deliver a clear written recommendation: what the actual issue is, whether it can be cured without a lawsuit, and whether the fastest path is a quiet title action, probate/ancillary probate, curative deeds, or a combination of those tools.

($1,950 attorney’s fee + court, service, and publication costs.) A streamlined quiet title action limited to curing the title cloud created by purchasing property through a county treasurer’s tax sale. Appropriate when you purchased through an Oklahoma county tax resale or certificate sale, the only defect you need to cure is the tax-sale cloud itself, and no additional title issues are known at the outset. The package includes filing the quiet title petition, obtaining service (including publication), coordinating with the county and sheriff as needed, and securing a final order confirming title after the tax sale. Additional title clouds (old liens, heirship gaps, incorrect deeds, unreleased mortgages, competing claims, boundary issues) may require curative deeds or a full-scope quiet title action, which increases cost. If any party contests the action, the remaining work is estimated by phase and billed as the work is performed, under our litigation fee structure. Court costs, service fees, and publication charges are additional out-of-pocket expenses. Designed for investors who need a predictable, flat-fee path to insurable title after acquiring property at a tax sale. Volume pricing is available on request.

Full-scope uncontested quiet title action to remove old liens, fix missing probates, extinguish stale interests, determine missing heirs, eliminate stray or incorrect deeds, or other defects that prevent clean title. The fee covers the case through the final decree quieting title; court, service, and publication costs are additional. Where a case falls in the range depends on the number of parties, required publications, and title complexity. We can provide a more specific estimate on request.

When ownership or boundary issues become disputed, or when heirs, lienholders, neighbors, or prior owners contest the action, the matter proceeds as full title litigation. The first phase starts at $2,500, and a contested case carried through dispositive motions typically runs $8,000 to $20,000. Each phase is estimated before it begins and billed as the work is performed; see Litigation Fees.
