Does an attorney have to prepare my quitclaim deed?

Understood. Thank you so much for clarifying that. That would make him the grantor and you the grantee. With the quit claim, you don’t have use an attorney, but most often it’s drafted by an attorney. You would also need the legal description, which can be copied off the former deed, or that does require an attorney to draft it. The deed though will require a notary for your ex’s signature.

I was advised that an attorney should be preparing this deed and not myself. I am the grantee.
I understand the importance of accuracy in legal matters. Are you looking for assistance with filling out a specific legal document?
Yes
Which type of grantee are you referring to in this situation?
A quitclaim deed.
Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your quick claim deed.
Hi there! My name is Liz and I’ve been an attorney for more than a decade, and I am here to assist with your legal concerns. So I can best help, are you the person transferring property?
No. I bought my house under my VA loan, and I’m 100% permanently and totally disabled, so it’s completely tax-exempt. When I bought my house with my van husband in 2022, my husband walked out on us, abandoned, and ghosted. I’ve been through several hardships. I have a phenomenal loan modification awarded to me as a veteran, low interest, even lower mortgage payment than I was paying before, but my estranged husband won’t sign the loan modification without having a quitclaim deed done, he does not want to.
He’s insistent on a quitclaim deed, and my mortgage company is redoing the loan modification.

Yes we are fully prepared and on standby with that. I believe I put in the correct. Description and information we are removing his name and it will be solely under mine. I just don’t know how to find the parcel number I think.
That should also be listed on the previous deed.
