Attorney for Plaintiffs, April 27, 2026. Defendant's Address: 26 Court Street, Brooklyn NY. Venue is based on CPLR 503; property located in Westchester County NY Notice to Defendant Nature of this action. This is an action to Quiet Title, based on a possible defect in prior owner's title to a parcel of real property acquired by plaintiffs. The subject Property is located adjacent to Sherwood Road, in the Town of Cortlandt, Westchester County and is described as set forth in Schedule A below. Defendant Lake Peekskill Realty Corporation, Inc. acquired title to the Property in 1933 but is believed to have been dissolved prior to 1960. No deed has been found by which defendant ever conveyed the Property. Search of Plaintiffs' chain of title indicates there was no deed of record into the prior owner. The prior owner owned the property for over 46 years and is alleged to have acquired title by adverse possession, if in fact there was no deed into him. Relief Sought: Plaintiff seeks a judgment adjudging the estate and interest of the plaintiffs in the subject property to be free and clear of any claim or potential claim of the defendant and that defendant and every person claiming under them be barred from all claim to assert an estate or interest in the Property. Plaintiffs do not seek money damages.
