A quiet title action is brought to establish, or “quiet” an interest in real estate between adverse parties. One can establish an interest in property or cloud upon title. The procedure cannot be used to cancel recorded instruments or determine property liens. The quiet title remedy is cumulative with any other results, including damages or cancelling a document. The lawsuit may be filed by the holder of any interest in the land, whether it be title, a lease, license, an easement, or title by adverse possession.
