What you really need is a notarized 'satisfaction of mortgage' from the lender to get the house and keep that lender complicating your deal.  

@frank youngDo I need to record the promissory note against the title officially using a title company or is a notarized agreement typically enough for most private lenders?

Here in Vegas we have to submit a notarized form and outline the amount of reduction in fines..

Dave,I just wish to say is yes absolutely setup your LLC and I suggest you also setup a land trust to asset protect the property and the deed/ title while you are away.Just so you are aware in a beneficiary directed land trust the trustee via a notarized letter of direction would follow the instructions provided by you the beneficiary so from England you can direct the trustee easily and safely.

It can be a real time-waster and energy-drainer.Prepare an iron-clad lease and get the parents to either sign the lease or sign a notarized Parental Guarantee.

Or should I record a notarized affidavit/memorandum at the court house to cloud the title?

The seller just mails in a notarized document and they can close a transaction.Maybe 1/5 try to over-charge with fees, but most of the other ones are perfectly reasonable.

Your option of having the wife and husband both sign a notarized agreement to the changes in the lease, sounds good as well.As a side note...being that there's a divorce, means changes in expenses and income for both husband and wife.  

.), did not require the seller to present himself with proper ID to sign a notarized grant deed.

See if the township will accept a notarized CO verification from the owner and if the person accepting the office space will accept that.
