Full Text of § 751.22
Plain-English Summary
Nothing about pursuing this chapter's re-establishment procedure forecloses other paths to the same goal. Section 751.22 makes the remedies here cumulative — additional to, not a substitute for, any other remedy the law already provides for quieting or establishing title to real property, such as the general quiet title procedure in Chapter 4 of this title.
Chapter 3.6's Cullen Earthquake Act includes the identical principle for its own boundary-reestablishment remedy in § 751.64, underscoring that both of these disaster-driven procedures supplement, rather than displace, the ordinary tools available to a property owner.
