A landowner may bring a quiet title action regardless of whether the respondent is asserting a present right to gain possession of the premises.

File your quiet title action and after being favorably adjudged in the Civil Court of which the property lies, you can then convey the property free of inferior liens but any superior liens will need be satisfied and those parties of interest should be acknowledged and paid prior to filing. 3. Do not file your quiet title action, hold your interest in the property for 4 years, pay off the superior encumbrance/lien holders and make sure you pay all dues, taxes associated with the property during that time.
