A: It depends on several things, including the timing of the partition lawsuit. As I understand it, you were given a quitclaim deed to the property in 2013 which you just recorded. You recently have agreed to sell the property to someone else.

You had better ask the buyer whether you can cancel the closing; what would justify your doing so?. You probably can't, particularly if you have clear title.
