Explanation
A quiet title action (NRS 40.010) is a civil lawsuit asking the court to definitively establish ownership and eliminate competing claims or clouds on title. It is used when a property has an unreleased old mortgage, adverse possession claim, boundary dispute, fraudulent deed, or unclear title from an estate. Nevada title companies may require a quiet title action before insuring certain properties with complex title histories.
