i have only had deed recorded for 4 months,so no where near 3 years.i do not know if the owner died.it appears he may have died and the heirs have let it go.the property appears to be free from liens.i myself just need a bit of direction to ensure sole ownership. can i file quiet title myself? or must it be done by a real estate attorney? i am not scared of the judicial process and eager to learn.do i have to wait 3 years before i can quiet title? file an ejectment lawsuit? and if so, why?

i recently purchased a tax deed from the state of alabama years 2011-2019.the land is vacant. what is my next step? do i have to file a quiet title or is rightfully mine? any clear information would be appreciated.first time buyer.
