Notary who signs quick claim deed without owner present

Posted on: 21st Mar, 2009 10:01 am
How can a recorders office accept a Quick Claim of Love and Affection of a house if the date on the paper was 2 years before the notery even became legal? What can I do?
It was clear to them when I brought it to thier attention and they pulled the information up on the computer verifing that she was indeed not a notary when the document was said to be signed yet all they told me was to get a lawyer. And so now after 15,000 later nothing has been resolved.
We are not allowed in the house and have to keep paying the mortgage.
Also we are located in GA so if you know anything that might help please advise.
Hi rachelholm,

If the notary who notarized the quitclaim deed was not legally empowered to notarize, the deed is invalid. The recorder's office shouldn't have accepted the deed if they knew that the notarization of the deed was not valid. However, I think you now need to prove the deed invalid in court for which a lawyer's help is required.
