MY AUNT AND UNCLE HAD SIGNED AN NOTORIZED QUIT CLAIM DEEDS OF ALL OF THEIR PROPERTY, ALSO INDICATED WHO THEY WANT THAT PROPERTY TO GO TO. BUT DID NOT FILE THE DEED. THEY HAVE SINCE PASSED. ARE THE DEEDS STILL VALID AFTER DEATH IF IT/ THEY ARE NOT REGISTERD.
Hi Guest,
The deed is still valid if it was properly signed and notarized. The recorders office generally records all documents that are in accordance with the sate laws regardless of the date it was signed. However, if your aunt and uncle had signed another deed transferring the property to a third party and that party had got it recorded with the recorders office, then your deed won't be considered as valid. Thus, the sooner you record it, the better.
