Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

Document signed and then notarized

There was x amount of land given to my son with in 4 months of his marriage and now less than 3 weeks shy of an anniversary she wants a divorce.. it was known to the both of them that the land was a gift to my son, not both but the land was deeded in both names.. Since then we had signed the transfer of the deed as a gift and signed the documents without the presence of a notary, Is that still a legal document.. after all parties of transfer of property was signed then the notary had notarized the document.. without the presene of maybe only one of the parties.. Could that document be retracted? Are there any fines for the person that signed without the notary and are there fines for the notary that did not validate whose signatures were on the document. Thank you

Re: Document signed and then notarized

Better see an attorney, Ma'am,(my sense is that you derive from the feminine strain of the genus homo sapiens) about your question who is knowledgeable in the Virginia law of wills, trusts and estates. And if the Virginia lawyer whom you select for this task knows something about the law of real property as well as family law issues, that, also, would be an asset in addressing the legal issues which are (or may be)implicated in your inquiry.
