Hello,
There is a home that is in my name and someone else's. I would like to remove my name and add another via Quitclaim Deed. I have the following questions:
1. When my name was added, it was with my maiden name. However, I am now married. Because I am taking my name off of the deed, can I still use my maiden name or should it be written to look like the following: First Name, Middle Name, Maiden-Married Last Name.
2. For filling in the information on the deed, specifically the date in which it was signed, is this required to be typed or can it be handwritten?
3. My state law does not require the notary public to be present when the grantors sign the deed. Therefore, in cases like this after the grantors have signed, are all grantors required to go to the notary together for it to be notarized, or is one sufficient?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi renesbitt,
As the property deed has your maiden name, I think you'll have to use your maiden name while transferring the property to someone else. As far as I know, the deed can be handwritten. However, it would be a better option if you could consult an attorney and get the deed drafted by him. He would also be able to tell whether or not all grantors are required to visit the county recorder's office to notarize it.
Thanks
