is quitclaim valid without recording in WV

Posted on: 14th Apr, 2010 01:31 am
Hello,

Is a quitclaim deed that is signed and notarized valid in any way before it is recorded in the state of West Virginia? Also, what if the grantor that signed the quitclaim decided to sign and record another one to someone else before the first one could be recorded? Would the earlier Notary date on the first quitclaim be of any use to help legally claim the property? Thanks.

Welcome Guest,

As far as I know, unless you record the deed, it will not be considered as a valid document. The earlier notary date which is mentioned on the quit claim deed may be able to help you legally. You should contact a real estate attorney and he will be able to help you in better way in this regard.
