The deed should be drafted in the state where the land lies and then sent by registered mail or commercial currier to the grantor. The grantor must sign the deed in front of witnesses and a notary and return it the same way it was sent.
If there are several grantors, the deed should be drafted on one page (or however many pages are required) and the signature/witness/notary pages should each be self-contained. That way, each grantor could keep a copy of the deed they signed for their records and just return the signature page. Once all the signature pages have been returned signed, witnessed (if necessary) and notarized, they can be attached to an original copy of the deed and the deed should be recorded immediately.
This type of complex transaction should be handled by an attorney, or, by an extremely professional and organized agent who will handle it correctly, handle the distribution of the proceeds correctly and keep copies of all the checks and receipts for costs. The mail or currier fees will add up and there will be recording fees. Any fees should be deducted from the proceeds before they are distributed. A copy of the recorded deed should be sent upon request to any of the grantors.

Can a will be valid if it is not notarized?
A will does not have to be notarized to be valid. Holographic wills are one example. In many states the will has to be witnessed, but does not have to be notarized.
Explaining the Quitclaim Deed?
A quitclaim deed is a legal document that is used to transfer real property, such as homes, land, and roads, from one entity to another. The entity who is signing over the property to another is referred to as the grantor; the grantee is the entity that receives the property. Since quitclaim deeds do not make any guarantees to the grantees, they are very rarely used to transfer property that has been sold. Quitclaim deeds are most often used to transfer property between people who are familiar with each other, and they can also be used to transfer private property to a business. The quitclaim deed form is the document that must be filled out to create a quitclaim deed.What a Quitclaim Deed Form ContainsBefore property can be transferred from one owner to another, a written document must be created. Many quitclaim forms are created by lawyers, but some grantors create their own forms. A quitclaim deed should contain the names of the grantor and grantee, the date the document was created, a legal description of the property, and a habendum. The habendum describes the rights the grantee will receive. There may also be a consideration added to the quitclaim deed. When added to a quitclaim deed, a consideration describes what the grantee will give to the grantor in exchange for the property. In most states, a quitclaim deed form only has to be signed by the grantor and notarized; the grantee is not required to sign the document.After the Quitclaim Deed Form has Been SignedOnce the signed form has been transferred to the grantee, the deed to the property is considered transferred. The deed should be recorded in the county where the property is located.An issue that can arise from a quit claim deed is that the grantor may not have claim to the property that is being transferred. Quitclaim deeds make no assertions that the property being transferred is without debt or not owned by another party; they just transfer the title from the grantor to the grantee. If the grantor did not own the property that was transferred to the grantee, the grantee does not receive the property. In many states, the grantee will not be able to take legal action against the grantor.
Can a promissory note be legally binding if not notarized?
Yes, promissory notes can be legally binding even if not notarized. Notarization is not typically required for a promissory note to be enforceable, as long as the essential elements of a contract are present and the parties consent to the terms.
How does a quitclaim work?
The term is actually "quitclaim", not "quick claim". The document must be signed, notarized and recorded and the recorder's office to be valid. It must contain the address of the property and a legal discription. It basically means "what interest I have in the property, I convey to you". This is not as good as a grant deed, which conveys a warranty of title. Consult a local attorney familar with the laws of your state for further assistance.
Does the amendment to a will trust have to be notarized?
Yes, a deed must be notarized to make it enforceable and recordable. The requirement for notarization has been codified by state recording statutes. Some states require that a deed also be witnessed. You should call your attorney or land records office to determine what the requirements are in your particular jurisdiction.

Yes, and generally it is a good idea to do so, however, in the majority of US states it is not required.
What if the signatures on a quitclaim deed are fraudulent?
A false signature on a quitclaim deed makes the entire document invalid. No legal property transfer takes place, and the original owner still retains title. A notary public should not have allowed a forged signature on any document, but is not responsible for the crime (I believe) unless he/she knew it was a forgery. (If the document was not notarized, then in most states it could not have been recorded in the courthouse, making it essentially a worthless paper anyway.)
Can one quitclaim land that one sold thirty years ago?
In many states you can "quitclaim" anything at all, meaning that you can release any claim you may have had to it (if any), including something you never actually owned. The real question is whether that claim was worth anything in the first place.
Can you get a marriage license by your self?

Can you get your husbands name legally removed from a property?
