Do I have to wait any length of time before I can start an action to quiet title?

Answer:
We cannot find a reason that you not proceed immediately with your action to quiet title. If there is a rule requiring a waiting period, it is possible your case would have to be restarted after the period has run, but that would usually only occur if there was an objection and we presume due to the foreclosure acquisition of the property by you that there will be no opposition in your quiet title case and you will receive a default judgment.
You are correct in presuming that your case will be simpler than a case in which all the information you list had yet to be gathered. Especially if your case is unopposed. However we cannot predict the twists and turns a case may take in court and so we cannot answer with any assurance. You should call around and talk to a few lawyers, and after explaining your circumstances to them, if they are willing to take the case, ask for a flat-fee price, as opposed to an hourly rate. Then take the best offer. We hesitate to guess at a "usual rate," which is dependent on numerous variables. Good luck.
