You've heard the expression "signed, sealed and delivered"? These three things make the deed effective: signing it, sealing it, and delivering it to the other party.

How do you get a document notarized for someone else in Georgia?

If by "notarized" you mean taking an acknowledgment such as on a deed or mortgage or administering an oath such as on an affidavit, you cannot get it done for another person because the notary is required to personally witness the signing. If by "notarized" you mean simply attesting to the validity of a signature, you can get it done for another person, because that type of notarial act may be done based on the notary's personal knowledge or other satisfactory proof of the person's signature. For example if a notary is attesting to a signature and personally knows the person's signature, the notary may attest to the signature but may not complete an acknowledgment that the person signed it in his/her presence.


What does a notarized signature look like?

Notarized Signatures are merely a signature that has been signed in front of a Notary Public. The Notary then signs beneath and stamps the document with a Notary Seal, which informs everyone the signature has been 'validated' as being the actual signature of the individual(s) who are signing the document. They appear something like this: Before me, a notary public in and for the said County and State, personally appeared the above named (Signer's Name) who acknowledged that he/she did sign the foregoing instrument and that the same is his/her free and voluntary act and deed. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and official seal this _____ day of ________, 200____. ___________________________________ Notary Public My commission expires _______________________ {NOTARY SEAL} If you need your signature notarized keep in mind that most Notary Public usually charge a small fee for notarizing documents. Most banking institutions will also have a Notary that can notarize signatures on documents. Some banks will offer this service to it's customers for free. You shouldn't have to spend more than a few bucks to get something notarized.

How do you get a quitclaim deed notarized if grantors live in different states?

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.
