Re: Quit Claim Deeds
It is still valid unless one or both of the parties have deeded the property to someone else or in some other fashion such as a warranty deed. There is usually no valid reason to fail to record a deed, and one runs the risk of one party taking some action which would render the quit claim deed worthless.
