The transfer of ownership of real estate is a complex process. In fact, the Illinois Supreme Court has recognized that the preparation of a deed is considered the practice of law. This means that non-attorneys are barred from preparing deeds on behalf of anyone other than themselves.
In addition to the signature of the grantor(s), deeds should be acknowledged. Even though Illinois law does not require acknowledgement, 765 ILCS 5/20 provides several ways to acknowledge a deed, including acknowledgement before a notary public.
A quitclaim deed doesnt have to be drawn up by a lawyer[3]. You simply download a free form directly from your county clerks website and submit it on your own. It can offer a property tax benefit.
Its a legal process that involves drafting a new deed and additional paperwork, then recording it with the county recorders office. The new deed will have the names of the current owners as well as the person you wish to add.
All deeds to be recorded must include the following: Statement of exemption or transfer tax declaration. By whom the deed was prepared. To whom and where the future tax statements are to be sent. Notary seal, date, and signature. Orignial signatures (digital or photocopies of signatures are not acceptable by law)
