Tax deliquent quiet title in Alabama

[Randall Townley]

Has anyone ever performed a quiet the title law suit in Alabama and won or lost? If so can you give a run down of your case and the outcome? Also as many people that have and are will to talk about it please reply, because the more cases we can talk about the more informed we all will be. Thanks

EVERY Alabama Supreme Court decision ruling that a taxpayer can redeem because it has been less than three years since the tax deed, has been a void tax sale case.  You have to read the entire decision to discover this. You can't read just the head notes or synopses.  Judicial redemption was created to solve the problem of someone being ejected when they did not even know a tax sale had taken place. So, the statute let them counterclaim and redeem.  When you understand the roots of the right, you understand that judicial redemption rights never come into existence if the investor takes possession fairly quickly after gaining the tax certificate.
