-VS-

COMPLAINT TO QUIET TITLE
Plaintiff, CAREER FINANCIAL CORP., sues Defendant, LUCY IRBY, and

2 This action is brought pursuant to Fla. Stat. 865.081 (2021).
3 This Court has equity jurisdiction under Fla. Stat. §65.081(1),
§26.012(2)(c)(g) (2021).
4 Plaintiff deraigns title to the real property as follows:
(a) Plaintiff acquired fee simple title to the following real property in Hendry
County, Florida, under a tax deed recorded on June 30, 2020 in Official Record Book
978, at Page 1774, of the Public Records of Hendry County, Florida:
LOT 23, BLOCK 2124, OF PORT LABELLE UNIT 3, A
SUBDIVISION ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF, AS
RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 3, PAGE 73, OF THE PUBLIC
RECORDS OF HENDRY COUNTY, FLORIDA.
A copy of said recorded tax deed is attached as Exhibit A.
Electronically Filed Hendry Case # 22000291CAAXMIX 05/23/2022 04:34:13 PM
(b) Defendant LUCY IRBY is the last known holder of the record title to the
real property prior to the issuance of the tax deed to Plaintiff. Said Defendant held
record title to the real property under a trustee’s deed recorded on June 16, 1992 in
Official Record Book 485, at Page 344, of the Public Records of Hendry County, Florida.
A copy of said recorded trustee’s deed is attached as Exhibit B.
(c) Any interest of Defendant LUCY IRBY in the real property vested and
existed prior in time to the issuance of the tax deed to Plaintiff and, as such, was
extinguished by said tax deed.
5 There is a cloud on the title to the real property as there is a tax deed in
the chain of title.
6 Under Florida law, no right or interest of Defendant that predates the tax
deed to Plaintiff survives the issuance of said tax deed, Fla. Stat. §197.552 (2021), and
no defense to this action or attack upon the tax deed to Plaintiff shall be made except
that the taxes assessed against the property were paid by the former owner(s) before
issuance of said tax deed. Fla. Stat. 865.081(3) (2021).
7 Any and all claims, rights, title, and interests of Defendant in or to the real
property have been extinguished by the tax deed to Plaintiff; Plaintiff is the true record
title owner of the real property and is its legal and equitable owner in fee simple; and,
Plaintiff is entitled to have title to the real property quieted and confirmed in Plaintiff
under Fla. Stat. 865.081 (2021).
8 Alternatively, if a party successfully challenges the validity of the tax deed
to Plaintiff, then Plaintiff is entitled to reimbursement from that party for all amounts,
taxes, interest, legal expenses, fees, fair cash values, litigation expenses, and attorney
fees delineated in Fla. Stat. 8197.602 (2021), and this action is to foreclose Plaintiff's
prior lien on the real property for said sums pursuant to Fla. Stat. §197.602 (2021).
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, CAREER FINANCIAL CORP., being without remedy
save in a court of equity, demands FINAL JUDGMENT against Defendant LUCY IRBY:
A Adjudicating and declaring that fee simple title to the real property is and
shall forever be quieted, confirmed, and vested in Plaintiff;
B Adjudicating and declaring that any and all claims, rights, title, and
interests of Defendant, and those claiming by, through, or under Defendant, in or to the
real property are and shall forever be canceled, extinguished, and null and void;
Cc Adjudicating and declaring that Defendant, and those claiming by, through,
or under Defendant, are and shall forever be permanently enjoined from asserting any
claim, right, title, or interest in or to the real property;
D In the event the tax deed to Plaintiff is determined by the Court to be
invalid, adjudicating and declaring that the party successfully challenging the validity of
said tax deed shall reimburse Plaintiff for all amounts, taxes, interest, legal expenses,
fees, fair cash values, litigation expenses, and attorney fees delineated in Fla. Stat.
§197.602 (2021), and if said sums are not paid that Plaintiff's prior lien on the real
property for said sums be foreclosed pursuant to Fla. Stat. §197.602 (2021); and
E Granting such other and further relief as the Court deems equitable, just,
and proper.
