| Problems with son-in-law. We do have a signed quit claim by him and our daughter placing the home in joint tenants. |

Hi Rgraham,
Welcome to the forum.
After filing a quitclaim deed, if it is not notarized and properly recorded at the office of the County Recorder, it might not be valid.
You have placed your daughter and son-in-law in a joint property by means of a quitclaim deed. Now can you please explain what type of problems are you facing with your son-in-law? |

If the deed is not notarized then it does not have any value. And will not be considered valid. The deed cannot be recorded also as it will be incomplete until notarized.

Your question is not very clear.
Your son in law signed on a quit claim deed but he quit claimed to whom?
Did he quit claim it your daughter? And your daughter placed the home in joint tenancy, who are the joint tenants? |

| A deed is valid only if an authorized public notary notarizes it. |

Hi RGRAHAM,
I'm making a couple of assumptions here since they aren't clearly stated in your post:
1. Your daughter originally held title as a single woman
2. She quit claimed the property to herself & your son-in-law so that now title is held by both as joint tenants
Correct?
As a CA Notary, Loan Officer & REALTOR the answer to your question in a single word is 'NO'
The Quit Claim Deed must be signed before a notary public, he or she must sign & place their valid stamp on the document and the quit claim deed must be filed & recorded in the correct county otherwise the change of title is not recognized and remains held by your daughter as a single woman.
In the state of CA no deed is valid until signed before a notary, they sign & stamp the document AND it is recorded by the county. (By the way, when it is notarized a thumbprint will be necessary.)
Hope this helps,
Lynnette
