Statute of Limitations on Filing a Quit Claim Deed

Guest

My former husband Quit Claimed his interest in real property that I owned prior to our marriage. After our divorce, he Quit Claimed his interest over to me, but the document was misplaced for several years and at being found, I want to register the document. Is it valid even if it has not been recorded?

The quit claim is nto valid, if you did not notorize and record it

There is no way the county would know that the property was quit claimed and update records

Hi G. Brewer,

I don't think the document would be considered valid as you've mentioned that quite a lot of time has passed off. However, I would suggest you to get in touch with an attorney and take his opinion in this regard.

A deed is generally valid even if not recorded (there are exceptions). You should record it right away; there is no S/L on recordation.

these declarative statements from non-experts and the "i think" commentaries are not particularly productive. i hope we all recognize that in offering our opinions, that they are taken quite literally in many cases. we need to be ever more vigilant in warning others not to simply run with what passes for information on here, but that they need to contact someone with specific legal or tax advice, etc. so as to ensure that they are protected.
