Quiet Title Action

  

See: Quiet Title.

This does not sound like the next Octagon Death Match. Oh...different kind of title.

It's so noisy, so selfish. You quiet it down when you settle ownership clarity for your little cabin where all the murders happen. That way, the ghosts return (the 9-digit zip helps).

So what action do you take to quiet that noisy T? Well, you file papers. Notify the county. Get a copy of the Deed of Title that shows a clear chain of ownership from when the land was settled with 40 acres and a mule courtesy of the U.S. Government to when it was sold to Bob O'Jones. And then properly conveyed to Martin Harrison. And then...you get the idea.

As long as you can show clear title chains, you'll quiet any arguing about who really owns that land.
