County Clerk or Recorder is a public official, usually at the county level, who keeps and maintains records of real estate in a specific geographic area. He is also known as a County Recorder.
For example, Kris is appointed by the government to look, manage and maintain the records of real estate, i.e. who owns it, the date of ownership, price of it, etc, of Diamond Street in San Francisco.
The 509.093 Standards passed by the 1996 Legislature are imposed on the documents to be recorded with the recorder:
The document shall consist of one or more individual sheets of size 8.5 inches by 14 inches.
The document can be printed, typewritten, or computer generated.
The document shall be on white paper of not less than 20 pound weight and have a clear border of approximately one-half inch on the top, bottom, and each side.
The top of the first page of the document shall contain a blank space measuring 3 inches. The right half of the page should be used by the county recorder for recording information.
The title should be prominently displayed on the first page below the blank space.

Hi Hicks,
The recorders are not attorneys and they do not practice law. So i would suggest that you should contact a attorney or a title company for further assistance.

2 singles bought house before marriage, changed mind. Man refinancing. Finance co and man want lady to sign quit claim before proceeding. (Does the lady still not have financial resposibilty.) Shouldn't she wait to see that he in fact refinanced under his name only. Finance co. said they will not let the lady know when it is final, she will have to work out with him. (Seem's another reason not to sign!!!)

Hi Guest,
Signing a quit claim does not end your responsibility towards the home loan. If you are on the title along with the other person, then he should let you know if he wishes to refinance the loan in his name only. In that case, he will have to make you sign the deed. But you should not sign it becuase there is something fishy about all this as the company doesn't want you to know when things are finalized.
You may also consult a mortgage attorney for further advice on this issue. Also go through a previous discussion for more idea on this issue.

I have bought property from my father in law. He has the release of lien from the original owner and he has the property deed. Do I need to get help from an attorney, or can i fill out the form and have it notarized and file it myself?
I hope you are talking about putting your name on the deed.
Yeah, you can fill up the form on your own, but it is always better to take an attorney's help as he can explain you the legal terms on the deed if required.

my kids father bought a house im 1997 I didnt have have good credit so we did a quickclaim deed through an attorney. things are not great between us, we have 200,000 thousand equity in this house.what can I do to get half of that money and move on.
Quit claim deed is used for transfer of property. For selling the property you can use a quit claim deed. In the deed the value you are receiving from the sale will have to be entered.
Yes, you can always do that. You have to sign the deed as the grantor with your son's name as the grantee. But remember to notarize the deed and record it at the County Recorder's Office in order to make it valid.
