A deed was recorded 30 years ago with a faulty legal description The seller is no longer around. Can a quiet title be filed to remedy? If so, how long does it take?

Probably 90-120 days, unless there is something else going on you haven't told me.
Re: Quiet Title Action
Yes, it sounds like this is what you will need to do. The process involves having to serve the prior owner of record by publication. You will then need to get a default judgment. Up to this point you may be looking at 4 months. Some title insurance companies will then make you wait an additional 2 years before they will insure the title to the property because a default judgment may be set aside up to 2 years after it is entered if service is based upon publication.
