Quiet Title

Get Started

Clear Title.

Marketable Property.

If you’ve purchased property at a tax-deed auction in Brevard County and don’t yet have marketable title, a Quiet Title Action under Chapter 65, Florida Statutes is your safest way to remove clouds on the title and secure full ownership rights.

More About Quiet Title

Who Needs Quiet Title?

  • Tax-deed buyers: When you acquire a property through a tax deed, competing claims or liens may still be recorded. Florida law allows you to file a quiet title action without tracing the title beyond the tax deed to clear these title clouds.

  • Long-time owners with title disputes: Whether it’s fraud, boundary issues, or missing heirs, any unresolved claim—no matter how old—can be removed through this legal process.

How Quiet Title Works in Brevard County

1. Filing the complaint: We prepare and file the lawsuit in Brevard County Circuit Court.

2. Serving notice: All persons or entities with possible claims are notified and given an opportunity to contest.

3. Court review: Many quiet title actions are not contested, which makes obtaining a judgment relatively straightforward. If the matter is contested, both sides will have the opportunity to present evidence regarding the legal ownership, or lack thereof.

4. Final judgment: The court issues an order “quieting” title—eliminating adverse claims—and we record the judgment to perfect your ownership.

5. Marketability restored: With quiet title in hand, you can now obtain title insurance, sell, mortgage, or refinance the property with confidence.

Why It Matters

Buying at a tax-deed auction is often the start—not the finish—of ownership. A tax deed transfers title “as-is,” and title insurance is not available until clouds are cleared. Quiet title paves the way to:

  • Marketable title for resale

  • Refinancing and access to traditional loans

  • Peace of mind—and protection for your investment
