In the State of California.
I bought a house in December '06. The title and mortgage are and have always been in my name only. I have never lived in the home myself, but had been renting it out. I was just sued by my ex for nearly $6,000 for rent ON MY OWN HOME!
My ex claims in the court papers that it was a jointly owned home and that I agreed to pay her $300 of the rent I received each month. None of this is factual.
I contacted the county clerk and recorder to get all the documents they have to show the judge in court. The 2 they have on file are quitclaim deeds. The first is dated about a month after the purchase of the home. It has my signature and says that I am quitclaiming to myself and my ex. I did not sign this document. I sat down with the notary public only ONCE and that was in December when I purchased the home. (my ex is friends with this notary public)
The second quitclaim is my ex quitclaiming her interest in the property back to me.
The notary public would need my thumbprint and signature in their journal / book along with the name or type of document right?
How do I view the notary public's book?
