I would like to know if you print a form of a quick claim deed over the internet what would you have to do to make it legal and binding? And if the deceased person did not leave a will and the husband is still living in another city and state, can this quick claim deed help in giving over his rights to his child? And do the child have to been in his city and state to sign the deed and have a currency exchange or any other notary to stamp it? The property is in Chicago, IL and my father lives in Lyndon Station, WI.
You may be better off checkign with an attorney or county office
Hi Deborah,
In order to make the quitclaim deed legal, you'll have to notarize it and record it at the county recorder's office. If the deceased person has not left any will, then his/her heirs would have to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in their name. In such a situation, a quitclaim deed will be of no help.
Thanks
