How to file a quitclaim form State of AZ

Guest

I live in Pinal County and am currently on the deed for the home my husband and I own. I am not on the loan and we are divorcing. I need to quitclaim the home back to him, but I am unsure of the process or where to get the form. I have looked on the government sites but don't see any forms available for this. I assume I must file with the Pinal County Recorder?

I currently live in the home and he has said he is going to stop paying the mortgage. That is a whole other story in itself...but for 2 years we have sought help on our VERY upside down home, but with excellent payment and credit history the banks don't care. Now that I must find my own home he cannot afford to pay it. The bank has told him to stop paying the mortgage if he wants help. I want to make sure that God forbid should something happen and he goes into foreclosure I won't be on any public documents saying that I was involved in the foreclosure of a home. I currently have an "excellent" credit rating and I want to make sure there aren't any black marks on it. Any help is appreciated.

Hi phxrsng,

As you are on the title of the property and not on the mortgage, your credit score won't get affected if it goes into foreclosure. However, your name might appear on the foreclosure paper as you are listed on the title along with him. To get rid of your interest in the property, you can sign a quitclaim deed. To get a sample quitclaim deed form for Arizona, you can refer to the following page:

However, this is just a sample deed form and it is always better to have it reviewed by an attorney before you use it.

Thanks Jenkin. There are no lawyers involved though. Truth be told I cannot afford one. If I could I would just be having the lawyer do the whole thing from scratch. I am trying to go it my own. I have read different things about using different forms. Like if you are both on the deed and you are quitclaiming it back to the other you are supposed to use a 2 to 1 form.

Hi Guest,

It is good to use a lawyer to avoid any dispute in future. However, you can do it on your own as well. You can use a 1 to 1 form i.e. form used to transfer from one individual to another also. There you will be the grantor quitclaiming whatever share you have in the property to your co-owner who will be the grantee.

Thanks Alessandro (forgot to put my name on the last post). If I had the extra money I WOULD get a lawyer to review it, but no go on that. I appreciate the info.

Hi phxrsng,

You are welcome. However, if you have further queries, do not hesitate to post. I will try to answer them from whatever knowledge/experience I have gained so far.

Help! I am trying to get my name off of the mortage of a home I no longer live in and my ex-husband does. He is willing to take over sole responsibility for the home and mortage, but I need to fill out a quit claim. The property is in Vermont and I now live in Tennessee. Can my documents be notarized in TN and still be recognized in VT? I cannot afford a lawyer and my ex is most unhelpful. Can anyone help?

Hi KT,

If the property is located in Vermont, then the quitclaim deed will have to be notarized and recorded at Vermont and not in Tennessee. If you record the deed in Tennessee, it won't be considered as valid in Vermont.

Thanks
