Corona, CA asked in Elder Law and Probate for California

Q: Why would a petition to quiet title take 3-4yrs of litigation? Is it bcuz u assuming the other heir will fight me on it?

So how long would this process take if we assume the other heir won't say anything, no arguments from the other side? After i TRY to quiet title and ask to exclude this asset from the estate forever, using probate code 850.... oh wait, i forgot i dont only wish to quiet title inorder to correct the title chain history and put back on the rightful owner, but also i want the other heir to pay money for causing great financial harm when he did this fraud title change. I will file an 850 and 859. So, yeah he will fight back if i try to charge him.

Well, if i only file the 850 to exclude the asset he wont fight back bcuz he knows its all fraud he recorded change of title deed so he can then inherit something by any means. He knows he's guilty and he's lucky he's not in major trouble i guess. Awww, i really should file the 859. I need to read more. I cannot afford an attorney but do need major help so i thank you all.

A: An uncontested case would probably take about a year. A contested case would probably take two to three years. I hope that this answers your questions.
