Quiet Title Action Attorneys in Atlanta, Georgia

A cloud on your property title can prevent you from selling, refinancing, or fully enjoying your real estate investment. At Jones Booth Law, our Atlanta real estate litigation attorneys represent property owners throughout Georgia in quiet title actions — the legal mechanism used to establish clear, undisputed ownership of real property.

What Is a Quiet Title Action?

A quiet title action is a civil lawsuit filed in Georgia Superior Court to resolve competing claims or clouds on a property's title. Under O.C.G.A. § 23-3-60 et seq., the court can adjudicate the rights of all parties asserting an interest in a parcel of land and issue a judgment that conclusively establishes legal ownership. Once finalized, the decree is recorded in the county deed records, providing clear and marketable title.

Common Reasons to File a Quiet Title Action in Georgia

Property owners in the Atlanta metro area, including Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, Cherokee, and Forsyth Counties, may need a quiet title action for a wide variety of reasons. These include adverse possession claims, gaps or errors in the chain of title, boundary line disputes with neighboring landowners, improperly released mortgages or liens, heir property disputes after an owner dies without a will, and tax sale title defects. Our attorneys carefully analyze your title history and craft the litigation strategy best suited to resolving your specific situation.

The Quiet Title Process Under Georgia Law

Filing a quiet title action in Georgia involves several procedural steps that must be carefully followed. Your attorney will conduct a thorough title search, identify all parties who may claim an interest in the property, file the petition in the Superior Court of the county where the property is located, properly serve all interested parties and publish notice as required by law, and present evidence at a hearing before a Special Master appointed by the court. The Special Master then issues a report and recommendation, which the court adopts upon approval. This process typically takes three to six months depending on the complexity of the title issues involved.
