The Elements for a Claim of Quiet Title

In Nevada, the elements for a claim of quiet title are:

  1. Action may be brought by any person against another who claims an estate or interest in real property, adverse to him, for the purpose of determining such adverse claims. NRS  40.010;
  2.  “A plea to quiet title does not require any particular elements, but each party must plead and prove his or her own claim to the property  in question and a plaintiff’s right to relief therefore depends on superiority of title.” Chapman vDeutsche Bank Nat’l Trust Co., 302 P.3d 1103, 1106 (Nev. 2013);
  3. Record a Lis Pendens; and
  4. Record a certified copy of the judgment quieting title. NRS 247.120(o).

  1. I think you are mistaken on this article as it conflates the elements of adverse possession with quiet title. NRS 40.090 – NRS 40.120 I believe apply exclusively to adverse possession.
