Is a notarized contract a legal document in Kansas?

Question

My husband and I are selling our Moblie Home and land and want to know if we type the contract up and get it notarized is it legal?

Answer 1

Huge big suggestion make sure you know how you are wording that contract to protect yourselves against future lawsuits.

I would suggest at minimum have an Atty (around 50-100 dollars) look over what you draw up for legalities and to make sure you have protected yourself. I would never be entering into a contract that the Atty didn't draw up in matters of several thousand dollars.

OOps just saw the land part, this is a realestate sell and you need to have a real estate sales contract drawn up.

Just see the atty

Answer 2

A notarized statement is one that is stamped by a notary public. If it's introduced into a court proceeding as evidence, the document is self-authenticating. That is, the person who signed it doesn't need to be present to provide the proper legal foundation to authenticate the document. Whether the statement itself is enough to determine legal custody is another matter. What is the question for custody? How does the document address that question. There seems to be a big bunch of information missing to even guess at an answer.

Answer 3

A signed contract, notarized or otherwise, is legal. However, you are typing this up on your own ? BAD move, unless you REALLY know what you're doing. Do remember that whatever both parties sign is legal and binding. Are you certain that you are covering all the necessary language to protect your own interests ?

I'd spend the money to have an attorney draft the agreement.

Answer 4

If you both sign it with or without a notary it is legal unless the contract states something that it isn't legal for it to state. No matter what you contract states, it can't over ride existing laws. Take jackies advice and use an attorney.
