Many recorder’s offices will not accept a deed that has not been notarized.
To be effective, the ‘seller’ of a property must have a quitclaim deed or warranty deed notarized – meaning that the document must be signed in the presence of a notary or the seller must testify to the notary that his/her true and accurate signature appears on the deed.
