Quieting Title at a Tax Auction

Misty Quaintance
Posted

We purchased some land at a tax auction. We had an attorney go through the process of quieting the title a Decree of Confirmation from a judge saying the title has been quieted. I'm curious if anyone knows what happens with the Deed after this. It still shows Limited Warranty Deed on the county assessors site. I have asked the attorney, but still haven't heard back on that part. Does anyone know do they automatically issue a new Deed or does that just happen if/when you sale the property?

No new deed is issued, but the existing deed along with the judgement should enable you to obtain sufficient title insurance to satisfy the person purchasing the property from you.  If you want you can purchase title insurance for yourself; the quiet title judgment plus the existing deed should be enough so that a title insurer wouldn’t require an exception to title.
