You will need to have your signature witnessed by a licensed notary public for your state. There are national notary services that we use that will send a notary to your home for a fee.  Email docs@walshdocs.com or call the office 630-794-0300.  We will help you.

In most cases, you can contact us to prepare a quitclaim or special warranty deed.  Quitclaim and special warranty deeds are frequently used to add or remove people from title.  Please do not forget that the properly signed and notarized deeds must be recorded as soon as possible.

In almost every situation, we email the completed documents to our clients.  If necessary, we can overnight the documents.  However, additional charges may apply for overnight delivery.

Every deed, release, deed of trust, or mechanic’s lien contains a description of the land involved. The purpose of the legal description is to fix the boundaries of the land to be sold, transferred or released from a lien. The legal description delineates a specific piece of land and cannot apply to any other. A street address is not a legal description. A street address may be adequate for the purpose of guiding guests to your home or for mail delivery, but greater precision is needed to fix the exact point where your land ends and where your neighbor’s begins. Hence, we have the legal description. Whenever you read a legal description, keep in mind that before the legal description had been written, some person, probably a land surveyor, went out and located the boundaries of the tract. The land surveyor then put into words directions for locating the lines the surveyor had traced on the land. The written directions are called a legal description of the land. A legal description may be found on a land survey or prior deed for the property. If any doubt exists, a surveyor or title company can be retained to establish and confirm the accurate legal description for the property.
