FAQ: Title Problems in Pennsylvania
What is a quiet title action?
A court case asking a judge to confirm who owns the property when records conflict or parties disagree.
How long does it take to clear title?
Simple releases may take weeks; quiet title cases take longer. We’ll set expectations up front.
Can I sell while there’s a cloud on title?
Usually not without resolution or escrow. We’ll work with your title company on a path forward.
Do I need an attorney if title insurance is involved?
Yes—insurers protect the policy, not your interests. We advocate for your clean title.
