Quiet Title

When there is a dispute, or it is unclear, as to who owns a piece of real estate, Georgia law allows a person to seek to “quiet title” to that real estate. Essentially, the court will declare who owns the real estate, and whether any liens, easements, security deeds, etc. are valid. At Fletcher Law Firm, we help people resolve these disputes quickly, efficiently, and at a minimum of expense. Our firm will work hard to protect your rights in your property.

Tax Deeds

Although O.C.G.A. 48-4-6 provides that a tax deed is considered valid, tax deeds are generally considered unmarketable. 3 Pindar’s Ga. Real Estate Law & Procedure § 26:94 (7th ed.) This is because a closing lawyer and title insurance lawyer cannot independently confirm if the barment procedure was properly conducted, or if one of the adverse claimants had a disability which would have prevented barment. Our firm can assist you with two methods to quiet title to a tax deed.
