In Florida. Can a quit claim be nullified if a second name was added without the grantors knowledge after it was signed and notarized. The quit claim was signed and notarized, then taken to the court house to be recorded, before being recorded a second name was added to the quit claim for joint tenancy. Due to drug abuse problems arising, the grantor insists that this was never wanted, and since it seems that the name was added to a document after already signed. It seems to me that the quit claim would be invalid.
The person receiving the property felt that since they were receiving the property they could add the name to it, rather than filing a second quit claim, no criminal intent.

Hi dgrgx,
A name cannot just be added to the deed without proper notarization. In this situation, the name was added after the deed was notarized. Thus, I believe the deed could be considered as invalid. If the original grantees wanted to add another name, they had to sign a different quitclaim deed. Talk to a lawyer and check with him if the deed has any legal validity.
