Generally it would be considered bad form for a notary to acknowledge the signature of a spouse who will benefit from the document. In some jurisdictions it may be voidable.
It is okay to do it in most circumstances, but it is questionable if the document benefits the notary. Such as notarizing a quit claim deed to the benefit of the notary would not be a good thing.
The quit claim deed could be thrown out by a probate court, the proper heirs could sue the notary, and the notary could be held personally liable for any damages caused, as well as losing their commission. Not to mention, it is a criminal offense for a notary to notarize their spouse's, parents', or child's signature.
A quit claim deed is a very simple form, you can probably get one online or at the courthouse or a title company. Anyone can file the deed, it is just a matter of taking it to the court house and paying the fees.
No. But A quit claim deed is simple and inexpensive. You have to pay a small consideration of money. Have lots of witness, video the tranfer, and have a well known Notary Public to witness the signatures.
No. Of course not. The universal rule of notaries is that they don't notarize any document from which they will gain an interest or benefit. You need to study up on the rules of that office.
Yes. You effectively "quit" your claim of ownership.
Just sign the quit claim deed and have recorded downtown.

A quit claim is a method of transferring property. It has nothing to do with the value of the estate.
Do you have to have an attorney for a quit claim deed if you are just changing your name
If they can prove that you quit claimed it just to move it out of reach of creditors, yes. That comes dangerously close to defrauding a secured creditor, especially if they had a lien in place already. If you had a legitimate reason to quit-claim it, you may be able to make an argument.
yes. but it must be notarized before the counsel general at the us embassy. no other notary is acceptable for out-of-country acknowledgments
