Information on quit claim and novation

Hi Debbykay,

Welcome to forums.

How long is it that your ex-wife has filed bankruptcy? is it only a few months prior to the divorce? if 2 years are over since your ex has been discharged, she may be able to qualify for FHA loans. Did she check out with any FHA lender? I don't think there is any other way to get out of the loan in this situation except a refinance in case your ex can't pay off the loan with your own cash.

To know more on this issue, refer to a previous discussion on refinance after bankruptcy .

Thanks

My ex boyfriend and I purchased a home together a few years ago and have recently parted ways. I am willing to sign a quit claim deed and understand it doesn't release my financial obligation but the papers also say that we need to file a real estate excise tax affidavit and real estate excise tax supplemental form. Any real estate excise tax owed would be my responsibility. Can you help me to understand what this is and why I would be required to pay it.

Hi Kathy,

The real estate excise tax is necessary when it comes to transferring property. However, do you have a mortgage on the property as because it's better to take the lender's permission prior to the transfer. This is because the lender may call a loan due upon transfer of property if it is so stated in the loan contract.

Adonis has already replied to your query at http://www.mortgagefit.com/quitclaim/realestate-excisetax.html . Please have a look at it.

Hello,

I applied for a mortgage loan myself. My wife did the quit claim deed. I understand she transfers all the rights to me. My question is: is she still liable for the mortgage. We are still married. Thanks for your advice.

Hi JC,

Welcome to forums.

If your wife's name is not on the loan, then she's not liable for the mortgage. She has just transferred her property rights to you. Is she a cosigner on your loan?

Hi rafael,

Can you please explain your situation in detail? All I can understand here is your grandfather transferred the lot to someone and his daughter now owns it. There's a mortgage too on the lot. And you wish to own it. But for that, I think you should check as to whether there's a Will on the lot. But frankly speaking if the daughter has her name on the title, I don't think you can claim property back.

However, you may avail the service of a title company and have a title search done on the lot, which would reveal who all have owned property right from the beginning. That could give you an evidence to prove your point if at all you take a legal step in claiming the property.

Thanks

my husband wants to sign our house over to me on a quitclaim but we are both on the mortgage, if the lender does not agree with a novation and his name remains on the mortgage and he was to be made bankrupt can any claim be made on our house?.

Hi Sharon!

Welcome to Forums!

If your husband quitclaims the property to you, then you will have to refinance it and transfer the mortgage in your name. Lenders do not prefer novation.

Once, you foreclose and declare bankruptcy, then I don't think you can claim your house. If you file Chapter 13 bankruptcy and clear off the debts according to the new plan, you can have some rights on the house. However, it will be better to consult the lender on that.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

Sara, Quick Claim Deed should not be used to give up he rights unless her sister agrees and refinances or goes through novation. This way, as you suggest, she could be faced with the following: no ownership rights, but the financial obligation for the house is still hers!
