More details to this question:
Bought a condo three years ago from a brother-in-law and he wanted to issue us a quit claim deed and just record the deed at the county. Assuming everything was in order the sale was completed. Tried to sell property but title was not clear. Have been trying to clear this for three months. Brother-in-law not cooperative even though he has title insurance. What can we do?

In order to clear title to property, you have to know exactly what the problem is. Unfortunately, you took the title by quit claim deed which means that your brother in law gave no warranty that the title was good. However, most title problems can be fixed by a qualified real estate attorney. The title insurance protection only protects the former owner, but you might have some cause of action against the brother in law, but it would depend upon the facts and based on this limited information you've given, I could not speculate.
