My brother and I have co-owned a house in California for over 10 years but I have been paying the mortgage alone (30 year mortgage). Now he wants nothing to do with the property and transfer complete ownership to me. What is the procedure? Does he need to sign a quitclaim deed? How to remove his name from property title?

Welcome guest,

Your brother will have to sign a quit claim deed and transfer the property to you. This will help you in removing your name from the property deed. Once he does so, you will have to refinance the mortgage, if any.

Adonis, thanks for your adivice.

My brother wants me to pay him an amount of money (50K) before he signs quitclaim deed. Can I just pay him cash or should there be some paper work done?

We refinanced 6 months ago. So after the deed is signed, can I refinance again to have my name only on the loan?

Hi!

Welcome to forums!

To guest,

It won't be a good option to give your brother such a large sum of money prior to signing of the deed. Both signing of the deed and paying of the money can go hand-in-hand. You should contact your lender and apply for a refinance. If you meet the required criteria of the lender, you'll be able to get a mortgage refinance.

To chrismcdow,

You've mentioned that the property was sold by your mother when she was living. So, in that case, you don't have to transfer the property once again.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
