Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Quit Claim Deed Trouble
About 4 years ago, i signed a quit claim deed because I was moving out of a house that I co-owned with a friend. No one other than her was present when I signed it, and to my knowledge it has never been filed in court. Her sister is a Notary, so she may have notarized it before or after I signed the paper. My friend is now in foreclosure and I don't know what to do. Do I have any rights as the co-owner? Is the quit claim deed even valid? Can she submit it to the courts now after 4 years? What will happen to me if the property is foreclosed? I sure could use some help. Thanks.

Re: Quit Claim Deed Trouble
You are silent as to you being a defendant in the proceedings. From that I can presume that the quit claim deed was notarized and witnessed. Form what you say, the deed is faulty and the notary acted improperly.
You could intervene in the foreclosure action to protect your rights.
