what is quiet deed?

Question

What is quiet deed, can anyone sue for it?

Answer 1

An action to quiet title is a lawsuit brought in a court having jurisdiction over land disputes, in order to establish a party's title to real property against anyone and everyone, and thus "quiet" any challenges or claims to the title. It comprises a complaint that the ownership (title) of a parcel of land or other real property is defective in some fashion, typically where title to the property is ambiguous - for example, where it has been conveyed by a quitclaim deed through which the previous owner disclaims all interest, but does not promise that good title is conveyed. Such an action may also be brought to dispel a restraint on alienation or another party's claim of a nonpossessory interest in land, such as an easement by prescription.

Answer 2

There is a "quitclaim deed" which is a deed that conveys whatever the person currently owns, with no guarantees. That is opposed to a "warranty deed" which does contain legal guarantees.

There is also an action to "quiet title" which is a lawsuit that seeks to resolve any questions about who owns a piece of property. If someone thinks they are the owner, they can bring suit to quiet the title, and thus establish if they are the legal owner.
