Quiet Title Actions in Virginia

A quiet title action is a legal proceeding in which a court is asked to determine rightful ownership to real property. In such action, a plaintiff must show that it has valid, legal, and equitable title to the property and that the defendant lays a claim thereto. This presentation will examine when it is appropriate to initiate a court action to quiet title and cover the mechanics of the lawsuit from beginning to end. The presentation will also cover related causes of action to establish superiority of title over adverse claimants.
