An action to set aside the deed and quiet title in the county where the property is located is required. Do not delay.
Re: real estate law - Quit Claim Deed
You must bring a court action to quiet title in the county the property is located. You should also file a Lis Pendis against the property with the Clerk of the same county. The Lis Pendis will tell any future purchasers of the land that there is a claim regarding ownership and will usually stop any sale of the property.
