How Do I Get a Deed Corrected to Remove an Owner?
Full Question:
My husband and I purchased a parcel of vacant land. The seller sent us the quit claim deed with my husband, myself and another party as the owners. I didn't notice the other name because it had white out over the name. When I received the tax notice, I realized the problem, called the tax office and they said the quit claim deed would have to be resubmitted by the seller. The seller is giving me the run around, what are my options?

Answer:
A quiet title or trespass to try title action is the method of determining title to lands, including land that is claimed by another who puts up a fence around it. In a quiet title action, it is possible to ask the court to issue an injunction to force another to do or refrain from doing an act. An injunction is an equitable remedy that the court may order when money damages will be inadequate to remedy the harm suffered. The court may also order records to be corrected to reflect true ownership of property. If the defendant doesn't appear or file an answer to the complaint, a default judgment may be entered in the plaintiff's favor.
