§ 762.040.Joinder of Additional Parties; Requiring Plaintiff to Obtain Title Report

Quiet title actions can grow as they proceed — an heir turns up, an old lien surfaces, a claimant nobody flagged in the complaint appears. This section gives the court a standing power to keep the party list current: it may act on its own motion, and must act if any party asks, to join whatever additional parties are necessary or proper to the action.

The same section lets the court require the plaintiff to obtain a title report and designate a place where the parties can inspect, use, and copy it. A title report is often the practical tool that surfaces exactly which parties belong in the case, so this joinder power and the title-report power work together.
