Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Quitclaim Deed Procedure

I own a parcel of land with three other siblings. They want to relinquish their interest leaving me as the sole owner. No concideration involved. Would a quitclaim deed be the simplest? Does it have to be signed and witnessed in front of a notary?

Re: Quitclaim Deed Procedure

Yes, you need to have the property deeded to you. It is important that you do it in the right form and use precise legal language in order to avoid paying any taxes and to make sure the conveyance will not cause problems for a title company when you go to sell the property. You also have to follow the proper legal procedures for notarization in order for the document to be recordable.
