Is there anything I can be file against property claimed by me ( prior to the filing of a quiet title action) to head off someone transferring the land? There is a dispute with the POA which we are trying to settle, but I don’t trust them not to take a surreptitious action.
Little can be done proactively to stop a titled owner (or his or her agent or representative) from conveying property. A cease and desist letter from an attorney may cause the transferor to refrain from taking any improper action, but the letter itself would not have the effect of a court order, and the transferor could simply ignore it if he or she chose to do so. Another option might be to get an injunction prohibiting the transferor from conveying or otherwise encumbering the property, but injunctive relief is an extraordinary remedy, and would require the filing of a lawsuit in any event.
