Answers before you call

Common questions

How much does a quiet title action cost in California?

The predictable costs are a full chain of title search, the filing and service. The variable is whether a defendant appears and defends, and whether unknown claimants have to be served by publication. We give a range once we have seen the recording history rather than before.

How long does a quiet title action take?

An uncontested matter against identifiable parties can conclude in months. Service by publication on unknown claimants adds time, and a contested matter runs to the ordinary rhythm of civil litigation.

Can a quiet title action be won by default?

No. Code of Civil Procedure section 764.010 requires the court to hear evidence and examine the claims before entering judgment, even against a party who never answered.

Will a title company insure the property afterwards?

That is usually why the action is brought. Whether an insurer relies on the judgment depends on whether the property was described by its legal description, whether everyone with a potential interest was named and served, and whether the judgment actually determines the interests. Those are decisions made at the start.

Can one action cover several parcels in the same subdivision?

Sometimes, where the defect and the necessary parties are genuinely common to all of them, which happens when an error in the original map or an early conveyance repeated down every chain. Where they are not common, one combined action is slower than several separate ones.
