If I file a foreclosure, partition, or quiet title case, what are some of the differences from a standard civil case?

The principal difference at the outset is the necessity to file (with the complaint) guaranteed evidence of the state of the record title of the property. See Rule VII(A)(1).  This document is referred to as a Preliminary Judicial Report and will reflect the name of the record owner, a legal description of the parcel of land, and a listing of all interests in the property that appear of record. All parties with an interest in the property are necessary parties to the foreclosure case and must be named in the complaint.
