R.M. v. District Court

In June 1975, respondent was retained by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Asmus to obtain a quitclaim deed to an undivided interest in real property from Mrs. Asmus sister who lived in Oregon. The Asmuses had purchased the outstanding interest at tax sale, and a receipt and option contract had been executed by a purchaser. To insure the title for the purchaser, the title insurance company required the sellers to obtain a quitclaim deed from the sister or to quiet title in the Asmuses.
