Quiet Title Actions in South Carolina
What Is a Quiet Title Action?
Clear Ownership So You Can Move Forward
A quiet title action is a lawsuit that asks the court to confirm the true owner of real property when the chain of title is uncertain or disputed. The goal is to "quiet" adverse claims so you can sell, finance, insure, or develop the property with confidence. Babb, Bixler & Dollar LLC brings decades of
real estate experience to these cases across Greenville and the Upstate.
When Do You Need a Quiet Title?
Common SC Situations That Create Clouds on Title
Tax sale purchases where prior owners or lienholders may still assert claims.
Heirs' property inherited without
clear probate or recorded transfers.
Ambiguous legal descriptions, overlapping surveys, or boundary conflicts.
Adverse possession claims after long-term occupation.
Missing, erroneous, or quitclaim deeds with gaps in the chain.
Old mortgages or liens that were paid but never properly released.
Our Quiet Title Process
From Title Search to Court Order
We begin with a comprehensive title search and review of the property's history; identify and notify all potential claimants; file the quiet title lawsuit in the proper county; use service by publication when owners can't be located; represent you at hearings; and obtain a court order confirming marketable title. After judgment, we handle any recordings so your records match the court's decision.
