We can confirm or defend your ownership via a quiet title action.
A quiet title action is one of several possible legal tools we might use to cure a title issue or defend ownership rights. For example, a quiet title may be used to confirm title after a tax sale, resolve an ownership dispute, or remove a cloud on title, among other uses.
