A: Hire a TX attorney to search the title and then decide on what causes of actions need to be filed. This assumes you have already looked into it somewhat so you can tell the lawyer what you think is going on. Do not attempt this type of work yourself.

A: In performing curative title work, the best course of action depends upon the particular facts and circumstances which are creating a cloud on the title. Sometimes, a quiet title action is the best course of action, but not always. You should consult a real estate litigator in or near the county where the property is located to determine the right course of action in your particular situation.
