Common Real Estate Actions

A quiet title lawsuit is a lawsuit that is filed to establish a party's title to real property against anyone else claiming an interest in the same property.

A property partition action involves filing a legal action to divide up or sell real property owned by multiple persons or entities. Property owners who own an undivided concurrent interest can generally file a partition lawsuit seeking such a division.

A lis pendens notice is a written notice that a lawsuit has been filed concerning a specific piece of real estate. The notice is typically filed in the land records for the county where the property is located.
