In non-judicial states such as Washington an action to quiet title can be used to challenge lenders or trustees who no longer own an interest in a borrowers property. It is an extremely complex legal action and is costly to pursue. You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in that type of lawsuit. The attorney needs to perform preliminary research to determine whether or not you have a legitimate cause of action. If so, further research in public records, and possibly non-public records, must be performed to document your case.

You file the quiet title action and record a lis pendens in the land records to let any future buyers know that you have a claim against the real estate. The practices vary in different states so you should consult with an attorney in your state.

If you file a lawsuit to quiet title to your ex-wife's house can a mortgage holder foreclose on the house and foreclose my interest?
This depends on who signed the mortgage document in question, and the date on which the document was signed. If you did not sign the mortgage, and the mortgage was filed after your divorce, you may have a claim to file a quiet title lawsuit (including a lis pendens). However, I'm not sure why title to the house was not decided during the divorce. Because this is a complicated matter, I suggest you consult an attorney (look in the phonebook for a lawyer who gives free consultations).
Will filing quiet title action eliminate liens and mortgages on a parcel?
A quiet title action can only "quiet" liens or claims that have been made a part of the quiet title action.

Quiet title actions cover a very broad category and may vary in different state jurisdictions. You should consult with an attorney about your particular case.
