Quick Claim Deed....can it be filed anytime after it was signed?

Answer 1

This is actually called a Quit Claim Deed. (Quick actually describes it better though)
Once it is signed there is a 2 year waiting period. This is so that the taxman doesn't think that you Pre Planned it. Most people actually have them Pre dated (for 2 yrs prior). So the sooner you file it, the better off you are (safer).
I hope this answers your question

Answer 2

Any deed, quitclaim or otherwise, should be filed immediately in order to protect your title from superior claims. Since a quitclaim deed doesn't actually transfer any title -- it's just a release of a claim as its name implies without any warranty that the claim is valid in the first place -- it's essential to record it immediately so that a complete title extract will establish your ownership of the property.

Fudging the dates like the other poster recommended may well be illegal -- and no notary worth his or her salt would notarize a deed with a false date on it.
