how do you get a quiet title?

Can one create a single deed covering two adjacent condos, one owned jointly by a husband and wife and the other by the husband only?

Hello, we own an empty lot that granted easement to the property next door in 1996. In 2002, we purchased the home next door and had asked the seller to remove the easement. We now lost the property to foreclosure and the bank has an offer on the property with the possible new owner inquiring about the easement saying that it is still recorded on title. We still own the empty lot and is looking to build on the lot in the near future, and would need to use the land in which the easement is located. There are two other ways in which the owner next door can still enter their property without this easement. The property is still currently owned by the bank right now. How do I terminate the easement?

My 2 sisters and I, in equal portions, inherited my mother's house when she passed away. She created a trust and put the house in the trust. One of my sisters has since passed away so my other sister and I are now co-owners with undivided interests. I would like to transfer my undivided interest to my sister, leaving her the sole owner. Reading on your Q&A about transfer of title it suggests that a recorded Quit Claim would be appropriate as the transfer is between siblings. Also I have been told (by 2 people I trust to be reliable) that is should be done in 2 separate warranty deeds for clarity or all I need to do is write a letter stating I am giving her my portion and have it notarized. The property is in Riverside CA, and neither myself or sister live in the vicinity, but will travel there to record whatever the final document is needed. My mother had no other assets and no probate was needed. My sister wants to keep the property in the trust name and the trust has a 21 year expiration clause. She will be giving me money for my portion and I know I will have a tax responsibility, but does that affect how the title is transferred? Is it necessary between siblings to state a monetary amount in whatever document we record? Please let me know what you think would be the best approach.

If time share was foreclosed by HOA, how do you release the Lien initially recorded, when the HOA insists that the Affidavit and recording of the deed is all that is needed to release the lien? We are presently in escrow on another property and it is being jeopardized.
