George P. Chapman, Jr.; and Brenda J. Gully Chapman, Appellants v. Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, As…

Summary

The court held that both Nevada quiet title actions and unlawful detainer actions concern interests in real property and therefore are in rem or quasi in rem rather than purely in personam. It reframed the certified questions to avoid deciding the historical distinction between in rem and quasi in rem proceedings and declined to address the federal prior-exclusive-jurisdiction doctrine.
