QUIT CLAIM

Posted on: 05th Jan, 2006 01:04 pm
i am a notary and i have a friend who lives in the home she grew up in since childhood. her grandmother passed several years ago and my friend is trying to get the home in her name. she needs me to notarize the quit claim deed as a witness for each of her aunts and uncles. does it matter if they dont all notarize the same day and if there is no monies involved does the top portion need to be completed?
Hi CINDY,

Welcome to MortgageFit Forums.

I do feel that your friend has requested for the right thing. To make the deed authentic, it requires to be notarized and recorded in the county's recorder office.

You are the appropriate person to get the deed witnessed. The notarization will save from any future hazards in the transfer.

It is always better to have the presence of all the members involved in the deed. So, I feel you should agree to your friend's request and help her.

Here are some more discussions on the notarization topic.

God bless you.

For MortgageFit,
Samantha

Hi Cindy,

Any legal document should be notarized in front of an authorized person. Quit claim deed is not an exception.

So, to help your friend not to face a problem in the future with her property, you should get it notarized for her.

I have seen a relative mine passing through disputes in the absence of the deed recorded in the county's office and not notarized.

It is improper and should be avoided for acknowledgements to be made outside the presence of the signing party.

This may be regarded as a defective acknowledgement and may face problems in any dispute.

It is the safest practice to get the deed signed and acknowledged in front of the acknowledging party and notarized to avoid any potential problem.

My wife's name does not appear on the acknowledgement where she was supposed to sign off dower. Only my name appears and was notarized. Are there any case laws to support our claim that the mortgage is defective?

Hi Steve,

I won't be able to let you know about your state laws regarding this. I will suggest you to contact an attorney and take his opinion in this regard.

Thanks
