What is the name of your state? Wisconsin. (please note that wi is a marital property state). I am trying to help a friend on this one! Person A and Person B are married (many years) and own a vacation-type property (jointly). Person A is seeking to clean up their "financial affairs" as A will eventually file for legal separation. In the midst of all of this, person B does not know of the intent of person A. Person A asks person B to sign some "paperwork" that has to go to the bank before it is late. A is very persistent to "just sign here" so B does. Over 2 years go by, and A files for legal separation. Now it appears those papers from 2 years ago was actually a quitclaim deed. If this is the case, it is obvious that B was tricked. Also, since B was signing rights over, wouldn't B have had to sign the paperwork in front of a Notary Public? (Notary Public was not present for the signature of these papers) I am very concerned on the legality of this and have spent many nights reading the statutes, laws, and any website information I could find. Will this quitclaim deed hold up in court?
