Subject: [WSBARP] PC Looking to File QT Lawsuit in Westport

PC is looking for an attorney to file a quiet title action against the City of Westport to: "to acquire the parcel of land abutting our recently purchased vacant lot."  PC further reports: "I have called the City of Westport and talked to the clerk; she said that there are two ways we can acquire the land.

  1.  First is to file a Street/Alley Vacation Request with the City of Westport, which restricts public access but not private access. This means if a neighbor wants access, we have to give them access. We do not want this route.
  2.  Second is to file a Quiet Title Action which restricts both public and private access. This is the path we would like to take.
We want to move quickly on this matter because I recently found out that the neighbor to the west of our land wants to use our section of the street as his driveway. This neighbor wants to use the section of the street we are seeking to acquire as his driveway. I don't think this is fair and I want to move quickly to make sure the neighbor doesn't file something before us."

I don't have capacity to take on a case in Westport and am looking to refer her.  Any takers?
