Quieting Title with a Sketchy History

[Adam A.]

So, the state treasury foreclosed on a property back in 2000 and issued a deed to DNR.  DNR auctions the property, issues a quit claim in 2002.  At this time, recipient of quit claim could have gotten a fee simple title from a judge without notifying anyone, yes, because the DNR established title?  (That's question #1.)

The person who bought it at DNR auction abandons the property, so county forecloses in 2010.  I buy the property the other day.  To quiet title, do I need to notify anyone, or will a judge issue fee simple due to statute of limitation expiration?

There is an established chain of title, you should be good. Just go ahead and get a quiet title action if you want to on sell it or just sell it 'as is' with a quit claim deed when your specialized use has been completed, there are always buyers for these properties..
