is a deed null and void if not done in front of notary

Hi,

The query you have posted in the forum is not very clear. However from the title of the query, it seems you want to know whether or not a deed signed in front of a notary is void.

Well, for a quitclaim deed to be valid, it needs to be signed and stamped by a notary public, without which the deed will not be recognized as legal and valid.

Any further query is always welcome.

Be cheerful & keep smiling.

my daughter came to my home for me to sign a deed only i wasnt sure what the deed meant and i never went with her to get deed notarized, is this legal? my understanding the notarizer needed to witness us and i needed to be finger printed to make this legal.? which in this case it was not i was not there to get the deed notorized.

Hi gabriella,

Things may vary as per your state laws. You should contact your attorney and try to clarify the whole matter. Also, if you feel that you have been scammed, then you can take steps to reverse the deed with the help of the attorney.

Thanks

It is really important to be sure that the will is notarized by a lawyer to make it legal. You ca create your own will and just get it notarized by a lawyer if you are thinking of the fee to pay.
