Hey everyone,

I recently Icame across a property that I would need to do a Quiet Title Action. My title company isn't familiar with this type of transaction and nor am I. Does anyone have any information on what it takes to get this deal to close, and how long. I've heard from a few people that it may take 4 months for the quiet title action to be performed.

Thank You in Advance

An action to quiet title is a lawsuit filed to establish ownership of real property (land and buildings affixed to land) and to remove a cloud on the title. Quiet title actions do not "clear title" completely. They are actions for the purpose of clearing a particular, known claim, title defect, or perceived defect.

The law on quiet title actions varies from state to state. A practicing real estate attorney is your best source of specific information with respect to the property you are considering.

Better late than never, seen this post today. I am an investor, one of the few in Florida, who has conducted numerous pro se quiet title actions. The best tip for new investors seeking to do their own is to google "florida quiet title".
To date my largest pro se quiet title case involved 14 properties and took nearly 2.5 hours to record due to the sheer number of pages and defendants.

Currently the site sitting in the number one spot for that key word has a ton of free information and tutorials including free tips on what to watch out for, insight into the process, how to conduct the due diligence, rules of superior and inferior liens, etc, etc. I would provide the link here but I don't know if it is allowed.
