my mother and father quit claim deeded their paid for land to their friends when possibly facing a bankrupsy back in 1998. the friends signed the deed and had it notarized. since my mother has deceased and father is trying to obtain financial assistance for long term care and will be disqualified for approval as long as he has assets. is the 1998 quit claim deed valid and legal without ever being filed in state of ca? question #2 if not valid if not filed, then can it be filed now via the grantee and then may grantee turn around and file a new quit claim deed and transfer to another individual immediately? and would there exist a paper trail or evidence that this occured ? thank you so much in advance for answering my questions, i appreciate it greatly !!! :)
Hi baboosh,
As far as I know, unless the deed has been recorded at the county recorder's office, it won't be considered as a valid deed. You should get in touch with a real estate attorney and check out his opinion in order to know whether or not the deed can be recorded now.
Thanks

Hi baboosh!
Welcome to forums!
I agree with James Hogg here. Unless the deed is recorded at the county recorder's office, it won't get legalized. So, it's important to record the deed to make it valid.

Recording a deed is not required to make it valid in California. I would have it recorded as soon as possible, though.
