I just finalized my divorce and the decree states that my ex will sign a Quitclaim to turn over the house to me. She has no financial obligations with the house, her name was only on the deed. The lawyer the processed the divorce was from the state where she resides and not where the house is located. He did not know how to process the Quitclaim in Virginia so we have to do it ourself.

Can we simply print a form from the internet, complete it, have it notarized and submit it to the courthouse?

Confused by all the forms and what-not.

Hi Snqlvanillagirl,

Welcome to the forums.

Yes, you can take a print out of an online form which is approved by your state but it is a sample form. In specific situations, one needs to get the deed drafted by an attorney so that later on there does not arise any issue related to the form.

You are in Virginia, so if possible get the deed prepared by an attorney in that state only. And, just in case you still prefer to go with an online form, you'll have to buy one from "http://www.findlegalforms.com/product/virginia-quitclaim-deed/#previe w" .

Take Care

i wouldnt be surprised to find that there are forms online that you dont have to pay for, but i also think i will concur with sara that you ought to have some legal assistance in completing the document.

Hi Snqlvanillagirl,

Welcome to the forum.

I agree with George that it will be better if you consult with an attorney in that state only and request him to prepare the deed for you.

Best of luck,
Larry
