A quiet title action is used to determine the true owner of a property or the parties with interests in a property. Disputes can arise when various rights or interests in a property become adverse to one another, such as when one party denies the rights of another party. To file a quiet title action in California, the plaintiff must have a legal interest in the property and pay a $435 filing fee. The plaintiff must also notify all parties with rights or interests in the property of the suit.
