Yes, at least in Florida. Even in the recorder's office, the recorder, who is also a notary public will witness the document and proceeds to notarize it himself. A power of attorney is a totally different case. Also, if the notary is notarizing the signatures of the winesses in any ddocument, he cannot be a winess himself.

Can a joint property be seized for a judgment against only one spouse in the state of Texas Even though spouce signged quit claim deed before judgment?

In Texas, a joint property can still be seized for a judgment against one spouse, even if the other spouse signed a quit claim deed before the judgment. This is because Texas is a community property state, and joint assets are generally considered to be owned equally by both spouses regardless of individual financial obligations or actions such as signing a quit claim deed.

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.
