i signed a quit claim deed for half of the rights to my property to a woman i was planning to marry. the deed was signed 1.5 years ago and she never filed and we have since separated. however, she found out the value of the property went through the roof and although she doesn't have the deed anymore, her attorney may have a copy and she now wants half. can this deed still be filed? the notary stamp also shows a date in the future (about a year out) is that an invalid date or simply the date that the notary expires? is this quit claim valid? i'm seeking legal counsel now but am hoping to ease my fears.
Bryan,
The deed can be filed now as it not has been very long since the deed was created and the notary stamp also has not expired. The date you see is the expiry date as you have guessed. The deed is still valid.

The date which you see on the notary stamp might be the expiration date of the commission of the notary public.
You should consult an attorney to know if the deed is still valid or not. But I am afraid that it is highly likely that the deed is still effective and if recorded will result in transfer of the share of interest you had mentioned in the deed.
