Usa: Selling House In Ca ... Needs My Thai Wife To Sign Quitclaim And Notarized ?

[Dublin01]

Hi ,

I'm selling my house in Ca [in my name, bought paid for before marriage here]. RE agent is telling me that my wife needs to sign a quitclaim [even though under both sets of laws she has no claim]. This isn't an issue for us. Question I have is that since this needs to be notarized at US embassy , has anyone else done this there and were there any problems at embassy... Appreciate anyone's advice ?

(Please note that the only issue i'm concerned with is US Embassy notarizing the doc, we have no issue on signing it ,even though its totally redundant)

It should not be a problem as they routinely have to notarize such documents - they did for me years ago.

Notary services cost $50 per document at the U.S. Embassy....and unless it's an emergency an online appointment must be made. Here's the Bangkok embassy link: http://bangkok.usembassy.gov/service.html

it probably is a title insurance problem not recorders office. Talk to the title insurance rep, they can waive the requirement or write an ademdum to the title policy.
