Does a quit claim deed in Arkansas STILL require two witnesses as of April 2007?

If a quit claim gives joint tenancy to another person - will the mortgage that secured the loan stay attached to the property?

Hi Spawlak,

Welcome to forums.

As much as I know, in most states, if you're doing a quitclaim, it will require the presence of 2 witnesses apart from a notary public.

By the way, if you need a sample quitclaim deed for Arkansas, refer to http://www.littlerock.org/BoardOfDirectors/MeetingAgendas/Agendas/12-0 5-06/N%20STREET%20-%20Quitclaim%20Deed.pdf . But this is just a standard form, so you'll have to get the deed drafted by an attorney considering your requirements and preferences.

Thanks.

since james already addressed the quit claim question...

yes, any mortgage in place at the time of a quit claim will remain in place, unless it is paid in full.

on the quit claim question...typically a notary can also be one of your witnesses.

Does Arkansas law require a spouse to sign a mortgage when not signing the note on a home loan?

If you hold title to the property or if it is your homestead you will have to sign the mortgage.

Welcome Barbara,

As far as I know, a deed signed under duress may be challenged and invalidated. The heirs will have to file a lawsuit to invalidate the deed.

I am buying a house since 1996. My decesed parents, I found out are on my title. My mom was the last to passed without a valed will in 2002. intesttat(sp) the estate was probated but never closed because the IRS has a lean. This is how I understand it is my wife & I owen 50% of the house and the estate owens 50% with three benifisers ( me, sister, brother) We are not talking and nobody but me knows about the title. I can not refinance without a clean title. Can I get a quit claim or will I have to pay the IRS and my brother & sister base on the value of the house?

Hey Ken,

As a lien has been placed by the IRS, you will have to pay off the lien first and then refinance the property. I don't think a quitclaim will help you in this regard.

Hi Buf,

As far as I know every mortgage and HELOC comes with a 'due on sale' clause which states that the entire amount becomes immediately due if the property ownership is changed or the house is sold. This makes you legally liable to pay off the debt as soon as you transfer the title or sell the house. Thus I think you should talk to the lender and discuss with them as to what could be done in this situation.

Hi billie,

As far as I know, there should be one witness while recording the deed in Arkansas. However, it would better if you could contact your county recorder's office and confirm the information from them.

Hi donna,

The IRS or the state tax department should have informed you about the sale of the land. As the land has been already sold off, I don't think there's anything you can do about it. However, you can always speak to an attorney and take his opinion in this regard.
