Hello everyone, I have a quick question regarding signature of the quitclaim deed:

Someone in my family need to have the title transfer from her husband (the Grantor) to herself (the grantee) (the house is in joint ownership). However, the husband (the grantor) is not even in the country, and will not be able to come over to the US to sign the signature due to travel constriant. So is there anyway to noterize the ownership transfer through quitclaim deed without the husband to be present for the signing in front of the noterize person? And if so, what should she do, and what are the process to get the transfer done.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi bigtymers!

Welcome to forums!

The wife will not be able to transfer the property solely in her name without her husband's signatures on the quitclaim deed. As the husband will not be able to come to US, it would be difficult for him to transfer the property to her. However, he can sign a will which will help his wife to claim the property after his death.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Thanks for the reply, but I am wondering is there any way to transfer the ownership of the house to her when the husband is alive (like having the husband sign a release form of some sort to allow the transfer)

Sry for not being clear, I am just wondering is since both of them are healthy, is there some way to allow the husband to transfer the ownership to her when they are both alive (like a release form of some sort of a document that is signed by a lawyer that verified the transfer, something like that).

i don't comprehend why the husband in this case cannot appear before a notary and sign the appropriate document. certainly a transfer from the husband cannot be done in asbentia without his express authorization (by way of signature).
"verification" of the transfer by an attorney is impossible without the actual signature of a proper document taking place. in other words, a verbal say-so isn't good enough.
