Hi Doris,

You can add your daughter's name to the title using a quit claim deed. However, since the deed is still in your deceased husband's name, you first need to change it in your name. Are you listed on the title along with your husband? Has he left any will for the property?

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi

The process to add your son to the title is simple. You need to sign a quit claim deed as a grantor, where you'll be transferring the ownership to either both you and your son or to your son alone. Then, you need to get the deed notarized and recorded with the county recorder's office.

you are an owner, jennie. therefore, you have all rights of an owner - being on the mortgage or not has no bearing on your rights.

If your spouse's name as well as on deed, you will be treated as coowner

If you are living in community state , you will be treated as coowner

otherwise, you are 100% owner of property

Hi,

Your name can be added to the property deed, even though you are not on the mortgage. It's not necessary for you to be on the mortgage in order to co-own a property. You can purchase the property along with your partner and have your name on the title, while the mortgage remains in her name. When your credit improves, you can refinance the mortgage in your name.

Hi shiela,

If you want to be added only to the property deed, the mortgage company will not check your credit. But in case you want to be added to the mortgage deed, you will have to meet the credit requirement as set by the lender. It is up to the mortgage company if they would allow you to be added to the property title. Your parents need to talk with the lender regarding this.

Hi eastport,

As far as I know, one has to have an ownership interest in the property in order to claim the property taxes. Since you are the only one on the title to the property, your boyfriend does not have an interest in the home. Thus, he cannot claim the property taxes.

Hi zanny,

Do you mean you want to have the title in both you and your mother-in-law’s names, but want to have the loan solely in your name? If this is what you mean then I’d say it is quite possible. Both of you can be on the title as co-owners. If you qualify for the loan on your own, you can alone be on the mortgage. You do not need your mother-in-law to co-sign on the loan to help you qualify for the mortgage.

In such a situation, your credit will be affected if you default on the loan. However, your mother-in-law’s credit scores will not be impacted by the default as she will not listed on the mortgage note. I’m not sure what you mean by “to refinance other mortgage”. But in any case, a refinance does not affect anyone’s credit adversely.

Thanks,

Jerry
