When does the 4 Year count on a Tax Deed Title start?

Question

We are purchasing a property via a quit claim deed that was acquired by the seller via a tax deed. The tax deed was issued in December 2017. We want to attain insurable title to the property and due to prior deed errors the only way to do it is to either quiet the title or wait the four years.

My question is does the 4 year timer that started on date the tax deed was issued start over when we attain ownership via the quit claim deed?

Just factor in $1800 for a quiet title process...should be peanuts if it's a good deal. Hardly ever takes the full 90 days...more like 45

It’s 4 years from issuance of the Tax Deed.  But “prior deed errors” have nothing to do with it, that’s the way it always is.

Reid Hanley · Answer

@Mark Fries  Is the $1800 cost and 45 to 90 days from personal experience? I have been told that the quiet title process can take much longer and cost much more. Like 2X - 3X more.

@Reid Hanley Not sure what you mean by prior deed errors, but 4 years is the drop dead date for anyone to challenge the sale.

Reid Hanley · Answer

@Wayne Brooks does that mean prior errors could still affect us getting good title after 4 years have passed?  Or does the 4 year passage trump all prior deed errors, liens,...etc?
