Can a Quiet Title Lawsuit Remove Liens on Property?
If the owner of a piece of property is unsuccessful in efforts to have deficiencies such as liens or other encumbrances removed from the title record, filing a quiet title lawsuit may help the owner to get the relief they are looking for. A quiet title lawsuit has the ability for an owner to provide evidence that proves rightful ownership and shows satisfaction of any liens, such as a mechanics lien, mortgage or other lien judgment assessed against the value of the property. Quiet titles can remove all encumbrances, or clouds to title, that potentially disrupt the sale of property.
