Quiet Title Actions Attorney In Florham Park, New Jersey
What Is A Quiet Title Action?
If you own property—or plan to buy or sell—you need to be sure the title is free from competing claims, unresolved liens, or other issues that could interfere with the transaction. Problems with the title can delay refinancing, prevent you from securing title insurance, or even stop a sale from moving forward. In situations where ownership is unclear or disputed, a quiet title action may be necessary. This legal process determines the rightful owner of the property and removes claims that stand in the way.
For sellers, addressing these issues ahead of time can help prevent last-minute complications and give buyers confidence in the transaction. Neal H. Flaster, Esq. assists clients in evaluating title concerns and pursuing quiet title actions when needed, helping ensure that your property is marketable and your ownership is legally secure.

What Situations Require a Quiet Title Action?
Quiet title actions address far more than disputes between family members over ownership. They can also resolve situations where a property was transferred through a forged deed, obtained through coercion, or occupied by someone now claiming ownership without legal grounds. These actions are also useful in settling disagreements about boundary lines, removing outdated or improper easements, and correcting defects that cloud the legal chain of title.
If you lost property through a tax sale or court-ordered sale and believe the process was flawed, a quiet title action may help challenge the result. Likewise, if you purchased a property through one of these sales, taking legal steps to clear any lingering claims from the previous owner can help protect your investment.

What Happens in a Quiet Title Action?
In a quiet title action, your attorney presents evidence to the court showing that you are the lawful owner of the property. In many cases, especially when a competing claim is old or unsupported, the opposing party may not even appear for the hearing. If they do, the judge will consider both sides before making a determination. When the court rules in your favor, the other party is permanently barred from asserting ownership over the property in the future.
The timeline for a quiet title action typically ranges from two to six months, depending on the complexity of the claim and the issues involved. Because the outcome directly affects your property rights, it’s important to work with an attorney who understands the process and can prepare a strong case on your behalf. Neal H. Flaster, Esq. has extensive experience guiding clients through quiet title matters and is committed to helping you secure clear, undisputed ownership of your property.
