My granddad quitclaimed his home to my father with rights of survivorship. The quitclaim was notarized, witnessed, but not filed in the recorder’s office. My grandfather recently died. Is it too late to file?
The property was always your dad's property, right after your grandfather signed, and from that moment, it went from grandfather's estate, to your dad's estate, allowing your dad to sell it, keep it, bequeath it, or whatever he wanted (or wants) to do with the home. It is also advisable to record the quitclaim deed. Recording a deed merely places "the world on notice" of what had transpired between you grandfather and your dad, and lets everyone know that your father has good title to the home.
