Hi!
I really need you advice. My husband and I own a house and both our names on the deed. Now my mother-in-law want's us to put her name on the deed. On the grantor's it states my name but on the grantee side I noticed my name was omitted. I don't want to sign a quitclaim. Will it be notarize without my signature or what?
Thank you !

No kim, the deed cannot be notarized without your signature because you are one of the owners of the house. So, if you are conveying any part of your interest in property to your mother-in-law, then your signature is required.
Hi Kim,
The first thing you have asked:
"On the grantor's it states my name but on the grantee side I noticed my name was omitted."
Grantor is the person who is transferring his share of interest to someone else and the grantee is the person receiving the share. As you will be signing the deed as the person transferring the interest, you are the grantor. You will not be signing as the grantee, your mother-in-law has to sign in their.
The other thing you want to know is whether the deed can be notarized without your signature, which will not be possible as grantor's signature is necessary.

If you do not want to sign then you cannot be forced to sign it. In that case your husband can make the deed to include your mother-in-law as part owner of the share of the house he has. Only he will be named as grantor and your mother-in-law as grantee. You will retain your share in the house.
