I bought a house in 2004. Sometime in 2007 I filed a quit claim deed for the interest of my girlfriend. She had been helping pay for part of the responsibilities of the mortgage and utilities. We felt the county charged too much money at the time so we did not file it with the county. She said her mom had a lawyer friend who could file it for her. Well now it's 2009 and we are separating. The deed still has not been filed with the county. The property is still only in my name. Well she wants to sell the house and I don't, and I offered to "buy her out" and she refused. What options do I have. I am sure she still has the original quit claim deed that I signed. Can she still file it? Can I have her removed? Please help. As of now we are still living together. I want her to have her share of what she put into the house but the housing market stinks and it could take a long time to sell. We just can't live together. Sorry to be so long winded

Hi groundcontrol,

As the deed still has your name as the owner of property, she will not be able to claim anything from the property. But as she has the new deed wherein you added her to the property, she may file it now and demand her share of the property. You can once again negotiate with her about the buying out option. If she doesn't agree then, you will have to sell off the property.
