Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

Quick Claims

I moved in with my fiancee over 3 years ago. He brought the house in his name only as my financial situation was not good enough to be on the loan. The understanding, with no written documentation, was that this was our home. I pay over half the mortgage (which would pay part of utilities). A quick claim has been signed but he has not yet recorded it. Can I file the claim at the courthouse? It has been notarized. Would like to protect my interests as well.

Re: Quick Claims

Yes, if the deed form is one appropriate for use in the Commonwealth and it has been completed so that it conveys what the owner intends, you can have it recorded in the land records section of the circuit court in the locality where the property is located.
