How long is a notarized signature good for on a quit claim deed if not filed in a timely fashion?

I am in possession of a signed quit claim but for personal reasons do not want to file it at this time. I guess what I want to know is does the quit claim eventually become invalid or expire, hence, a new one would need to be signed.
Your Deed will not expire or become invalid due to the mere passage of time. However, be aware that if the Deed is not recorded, it does not become public record. Therefore, if the Grantor executed a 2nd Deed for the same property to someone else, and they recorded that Deed prior to you recording yours, that Deed would take precedence. Additionally, if you wait an extraordinary long time to record your Deed, someone might challenge the validity of the deed, especially in a case where the Grantor is deceased.
My advise would be to record your Deed sooner rather then later.
