Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Can I file a quiet title action to my mobilehome? There is a dispute between myself and the mobile home park over ownership.

Well, yes and no. Your mobile home is not real property. Quiet Title actions only apply to real property. That may sound strange, since of course it seems very real to you, but in the law real property means ownership and other rights and interests in land. Everything else is personal property. So unless you were trying to assert some claim to the space on the ground in the mobile home park, a Quiet Title action would not be appropriate. Add to that the fact that mobile homes are governed by the Vehicle Code as well as property law, and it can get even more confusing. If, however, you have a dispute over ownership of your mobile home, there certainly is a way to put that before the court for determination. I'm just not sure if it would be a declaratory judgment action, or if there is some special proceeding you have to follow under the Vehicle Code or maybe the Civil Code.

You can legally dispute the ownership of a mobile home, but it is not done through a quiet title action.
