Establish Clear Ownership Of Your Co-Op Share Or Condominium Unit

A cloud on your title—an outstanding lien, a judgment, a conflicting claim, or a restriction on your share or unit—can prevent you from selling your home, refinancing, or freely exercising your ownership rights. An action to quiet title removes these defects from the public record and establishes you as the clear owner of your co-op share or condominium unit. Whether you have inherited a share or unit with unclear ownership, purchased property encumbered by an old lien or judgment, or discovered that someone is claiming a right to your home without justification, Sverd Law Firm has successfully pursued quiet title actions to give our clients the clean ownership they deserve.

Common Title Defects In Co-Op And Condominium Ownership

Title defects to residential shares and units take many forms. An old judgment may have been recorded against your share or unit decades ago and never released, even though the underlying debt is long satisfied. A former spouse may claim an interest based on an outdated divorce judgment. A creditor’s lien may remain on record despite full payment. A restrictive covenant or easement may burden your unit. A prior owner’s mortgage may remain recorded despite satisfaction. The building corporation may have imposed a lien on your share for unpaid assessments, and that lien may have been improperly recorded or never released. Each of these clouds prevents clear title and creates uncertainty for buyers, lenders, or title insurers. An action to quiet title compels the holder of the claimed interest to prove their right—and when they cannot, the court removes their claim from the record permanently.

Sverd Law Firm investigates title defects affecting your share or unit, identifies all parties who may claim an interest, and pursues quiet title litigation to eliminate clouds on your ownership.
