@J Beard, the process involves getting a notarized deed and recording it, so the owner is obligated with regards to the mortgage; ownership is conveyed through the deed and the owner can give a notarized deed to the buyer.  

Took the state prison almost 4 weeks just to get a notarized document back for settlement!

I'm signing a notarized statement affirming my intention to occupy the house and the reason I need.

You can defend a claim of adverse possession by the orchard with a cell phone recording of, or a notarized statement from the previous owner establishing his repeated uses of that portion of the property since the trees were planted

You will receive a notarized copy of this letter shortly.

Also, I would ask them whether they require from your seller and you buyer + buyer's lender before the closing a notarized statement stating that both parties understand that this transaction is a flip.

Our golden rule is that no matter if we think or don't think the tenant has vacated and abandoned the premises, unless they come into the office and we have a notarized document stating they have left we go thru the eviction and writ of possession.

Yes, there is a notarized death certificate, and the Will is solid too (these two docs were applied to the parcel that DID get put in her name, so they've worked once, apparently).  

i had a similar situation, I had the x give her 6 months of cancelled checks showing he made the payments and a notarized note saying he would continue.

Thank you all for great response and mark fries, I will just resort on setting a notarized agreement between me and son on his Owenership of that portion of the garage and eventually work on a subdivided deed in the future, Thank you
