Absolute Quiet Title Action or not?

[m9575]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
In 2005 I sold a commercial building of which the title company held a portion of the proceeds in escrow pending proof of clear/quiet title action.

Prior to the sell there was a dispute of ownership between me and another interested party which led to a judgment in my favor part of the order reads as follows:

Quiet Title Action

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDGED the the Defendant, **** shall be in default in regards to the Quiet Title Action filed by the Plaintiff, (Me) Said Quiet Title Action involves land located in the City of ___, legally described as:**************....

The order up until this week was not filed or recorded in the county, but I is now.

The title company is saying that this order does not give me absolute title but just clears the title from the from the Defendant.

Something seems fishing to me, by the way my current attorney is referred by the title company.

Does a quiet title action judgment just apply to one interested party???

Thanks for any help.

**A: the general answer is no.

Looks like the title company may not have documents granting you title. A quiet title doesn't grant title.

**A: I'm glad we were not so quiet about it.
