SB 298 Arkansas Senate · 2025 Regular Session

TO REPEAL THE LAW CONCERNING THE SETTING ASIDE OF A DECREE TO QUIET TITLE TO LAND TO ALLOW FOR FINALITY IN QUIET TITLE ACTIONS.

SB 298 repeals Arkansas Code § 18-60-510, which previously allowed individuals to challenge a court's final quiet title decision within three years (or anytime after removing disabilities like infancy or mental illness). This change eliminates the ability to contest past quiet title rulings, creating finality in land ownership disputes. It directly affects landowners or claimants who might have sought to overturn a prior court decision establishing clear title to property. The bill, now enacted as Act 320, streamlines property rights by preventing future challenges to settled quiet title actions.
