It is important to note that most title companies and closing attorneys require properties sold at a tax sale to go through the Quiet Title action before they can issue marketable titles. If you are looking for assistance in gaining a clear title, our attorneys will initiate this process.

Leon Van Gelderen, P.C. has successfully coompleted dozens of quiet title actions. These include:

1. Establishing barment and foreclosure of the right of redemption of anyone who appears in the chain of title including owners, lien holders, state and local tax agencies, heirs and in some cases holders of older tax deeds.
2. Establishing the boundaries for the property.
3. Removal or clarification of easements.
4. Establishing adverse possession and
5. Establishing rights in closed streets and alleys.

A quiet title proceeding is a type of civil proceeding that involves filling a lawsuit and obtaining a judicial decree which is filled in the real estate records.
