Overview of Quiet Title Actions - Fixing Real Estate Title Problems

Criminals today can perpetrate a real estate fraud scheme to manipulate the title of your property in an effort to steal your equity, and profit at your expense. Real estate title fraud schemes can take on several forms like forged grant deeds, a forged quitclaim deeds, fraudulent sales, recording deeds of trust for loans you had never received, elder abuse, undue influence, or starting an unlawful foreclosure. Sometimes there are several people involved with these types of fraudulent schemes such as a corrupt notary public acting as a co-conspirator in the scheme. DON'T LET YOURSELF BECOME A VICTIM OF TITLE FRAUD!

Uncertain property boundaries between neighboring properties, boundary disputes, and unclear ownership of inherited property in addition to claims of adverse possession are just some of the common reasons that necessitate the filing of "quiet title actions" in California. This type of lawsuit requires legal representation from an experienced real estate attorney for settling a dispute and establishing title to the property. The purpose of quieting title to a property is to establish clear ownership of the title against adverse claims or any interest in the real property. Quiet title actions are legal proceedings whereby plaintiffs claim title to a portion or all of a specific real property, and asks the Court for a ruling that their title is superior to any other interest claimed by a defendant.
