The Role of a Notary in Colorado Property Transfers
In the state of Colorado, real estate is often an individual’s most valuable asset. Whether you are adding a spouse to a title, transferring property into a Living Trust, or resolving a divorce settlement, the Quit Claim Deed is the instrument of choice for fast, non-warranted transfers. However, because these documents move significant equity, the notarization process is the primary defense against “clouded titles” and identity theft.
As a specialized real estate notary service, we understand that a simple mistake on a deed—such as an incorrect legal description or a poorly formatted notary block—can result in a document being rejected by the County Clerk and Recorder. We provide the meticulous oversight needed to ensure your signature is captured correctly and your identity is verified to the highest state standards.
Common Transfer Scenarios
- • Marriage or Divorce Title Changes
- • Moving Property into a Trust or LLC
- • Parent-to-Child Property Gifting
- • Removing a Deceased Joint Tenant
Service Areas
We offer mobile service to Longmont, Boulder, Loveland, Fort Collins, Greeley, and all surrounding Northern Colorado communities.
Why “Self-Notarizing” or Cheap Online Forms Can Be Risky
While it is tempting to download a generic form and find the nearest bank notary, property deeds require specific statutory language. In Colorado, the notary certificate must clearly state the venue (county and state) and the type of act (usually an acknowledgment).
Furthermore, many deeds require a TD-1000 (Real Property Transfer Declaration) to accompany the filing. If this form is required but not presented, the county may refuse to record the deed. Our mobile notaries are familiar with these supplemental documents and can notarize all associated paperwork in a single appointment, saving you multiple trips to the courthouse.
Identity Verification & Anti-Fraud Protocols
Title fraud is a growing concern in Colorado. To protect our clients, we utilize advanced identity proofing. This includes:
- Credential Analysis: For online notarizations, we use automated tech to verify the security features of your ID.
- Physical Inspection: For mobile signings, we check for tampering and ensure the ID is current (expired IDs are not legal for notarization in Colorado).
- Willingness and Awareness: We verify that the Grantor is signing under their own free will and isn’t being pressured by a third party.
Remote Online Notarization (RON) for Deeds
Can’t meet us in person? Colorado has embraced Remote Online Notarization. This allows you to sign your deed from your laptop or smartphone while on a recorded video call with one of our commissioned notaries.
The resulting document is a digitally signed PDF with a tamper-evident seal. Most Colorado counties, including Larimer, Weld, and Boulder, accept electronically notarized deeds for e-recording. This is an ideal solution for out-of-state property owners or those with busy schedules.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide the Quit Claim Deed form?
No. As notaries, we are not attorneys and cannot provide legal forms. We recommend using a Colorado-specific statutory form from a legal supply store or having one prepared by an estate planning attorney.
Does the person receiving the property (Grantee) need to be present?
Usually, no. Only the person giving up the interest (the Grantor) is required to have their signature notarized. However, both parties may need to sign the tax declaration forms.
What happens after the notarization?
The deed must be “recorded” with the County Clerk and Recorder in the county where the property is located. We provide the notarization, but you or your representative are responsible for filing the document and paying the county recording fees.
