Most states require that a deed be notarized in order to be recorded in the land records. You need to check with your local land records office. If you can't record the deed you cannot become the record owner. Record title will remain in the last owner of record.

If you cannot record your deed you would need to hire an attorney who specializes in real estate law and bring a court action to quiet title. IF you prevail a judgment will be issued by the court declaring that you are the owner. The judgment MUST be recorded in the land records.

Is a notarized documents legal in a court of law and if not what is the point of notarizing it?

A notarized document would be considered as appropriate evidence as to the signature on the document. A notary can only verify what is 'sworn to' in front of them. You obviously have something in mind and should add more details to your query. A notarized document can be used as evidence in court. However, whether it is enforceable depends on the document and what you need it to prove. If two people have a dispute regarding who owns real estate and one has an un-notarized deed and the other has a notarized deed, the one with the fully executed deed will likely win. If a Will was not notarized and state laws require a that a will be notarized, the Will, even if written by the decedent, may be vulnerable to challenges because of the missing notary. If it was notarized and has no technical errors it would be allowed automatically. As in every profession, there are unscrupulous notaries who notarize documents that are obviously forged or fraudulent. Although 'notarized' the court has the power to reject them. That's what courts are for. A notary's acknowledgement does not automatically give credence to just any document.

Quit claim IL never notarized or filed is it legal The granter and grantee are not disputing grantee owns the house But can a Judge or Attorney say that I don't it because it was not filed?

If you don't have a properly executed deed then you are not the owner of the property. Generally, a deed must be acknowledged before a notary in order to be valid. Then, in order to be effective against the world it must be recorded in the land records. Until all that happens you are NOT the record owner of the property. Keeping in mind that you don't have a valid deed, you should be aware that the owner of the property can execute a deed to a third party or they can devise the property to someone by will. If that deed is properly executed and that third party records the deed in the land records then they would be the new owner. If the property is devised by will that would be prima facie evidence they didn't want you to acquire the property. If the owner died without a will the law would require that the property pass to the next-of-kin according to the laws of intestacy. In your case, if the record owner of the property died you would need to have your title to the property established by a court decree and you would face an uphill battle. That would be very costly and you may lose. You would need to prove the owner wanted you to have the property and then then explain to the court's satisfaction why they didn't execute a proper deed transferring the title to you while they were still alive. An un-notarized deed may indicate the grantor changed their mind or signed it under some sort of pressure. There is a huge question mark hanging over your claim: If the grantor "agrees" that you own the land then why haven't they conveyed it to you by a valid deed and why isn't that deed recorded?

Is a document legal if you have it witnessed but not acknowledged by a notary?

Only if the notary is a really close friend or family member who can vouch for the person's signature.Another View: Any document is "legal" unless until it's authenticity is called into question. If the un-notarized signature is challenged there ARE ways to prove that the signature is genuine (i.e.: expert handwriting analysis) but notarizing something is still the best, quickest, and easiest means.
