My dad has a house in California and went to the Philippines before he had his wife sign a quit claim deed to his house. Can it be signed at the US embassy in Manila and then mail it back to California to be recorded to they have to wait until they return to California which will not be for awhile. Will it be legally appropriate?

What your asking if the document will be legal in the USA if signed and notarised at the US Embassy in the Philippines and the answer is YES, also have your dad make a photo copy of his passport showing he is here just in case they ask why the document was signed in the Philippines.

Yes you can have a Quit Claim signed and notarized at a US Embassy. They do not have to wait to get back but make sure that they do it right away, because when dealing with the Embassy, it takes more time than you think. It is not just a matter of signing a document,then having them notarize it with the stamp and you mailing it back. There is a protocl at the Embassy bu t you will be ok. It just atkes longer than expected so the transaction may not close as soon as you like. It will delay it on the other end in California but not to worry, this is more common than yuo think.

As Fraginal says, US embassies and consulates provide notarial services for documents to be used in the US. Your father's wife won't need an appointment, but can go there any time during regular American Citizen Services hours, which in Manila are Monday through Friday 7:30 - 10:00 a.m.
If they are in Cebu, the hours are Monday through Friday 9:00 – 11:00am
The fee is $30 for the first seal, and $20 for each additional one done at the same time in connection with the same transaction.
