Hi

What exactly is quitclaim and how do I go about it? I have a lot in Florida that is in my name and my spouse's. We are separating and the lot in Florida is in both our names (paid in full) and we have a house in my name alone, but that is another story in another state. Who do I go to for a quitclaim, an attorney? How much is it? How fast does it take effect? Thank you.

Hi Elaine,

Quitclaim deed helps in transferring the property from one person to another. If you want to take your name off the property deed, you will have to sign a quitclaim deed in your spouse's name. Sample quitclaim deed forms are available online but you can also take the help of an attorney to draft a quitclaim deed. To know more about quitclaim deed, check out the following link:

If you consult an attorney, you will have to pay the fees of the attorney. Apart from this, you will also have to pay the deedrecording fees as well as the fees for the stamp docs.

Thanks,

Jerry

I have been married for 38 years and I have a house of my own. About 5 years ago, we decided to renew our vows and in doing so, I added my husbands name to my deed. Since then it has been terrible living with him. He does things that I do not like and I cannot understand the changes in him. In the mean time, he does not give me any financial help towards the house or anything else for that matter. How can I get off of my deed because he keeps saying that he is gonna take my house and sell it?

Hi Ceelee,

You should remember that your husband cannot sell off the property without your signatures. If you want to remove him from the property, you will have to ask him to sign a reverse quitclaim deed in your favor.

If he is not ready to sign a quitclaim deed in your favor, then you can try for a partition law suit wherein the court will sell off the property and accordingly divide the money.

Thanks

My fiance put my name on the deed when he bought a new house, but not the loan. I have to file bankruptcy and needed to know if I have to file a quit claim deed so the creditors don't file a lein against the house, or are they not able to do that anyway. (we are in Ohio)

Hi micki!

Welcome to forums!

As you will be filing bankruptcy, if you try to quitclaim the property to your fiance now, it can be considered as a fraudulent transfer and there are chances that the creditors may penalize you for this. In my opinion, before quitclaiming the property to your fiance, you should consult your bankruptcy attorney.

I have a friend in New York that has her ex-husband still on the deed to her house. He has agreed to sign it over to her but every one (banks) keep telling her her only option is to re-fi. I told her to look into quit claims. I don't know enough about them to advise her.Please help

Hi Linda,

Refinancing will not take him off the deed. During or prior to refinancing you need to get a quitclaim deed or a warranty deed signed by him whereby he will release his claim in the property. You need to do this so you can refinance in your name.

Thanks,

Jerry

Welcome GPH,

You cannot remove your name from the deed. She needs to file a quitclaim deed and transfer the property in your name.

Hi

I'm afraid you might not be able to remove her name from the title, unless she signs a deed to give up her share in the property. The other option you have is to file a partition lawsuit in court, sell off the property with court's intervention and divide the proceed among both of you.

My husband and I are 1/4 owners of a cabin with our 2 adult children and my brother. We want to take our names off the deed. We, my husband and I, will be filing bankruptcy in the near future - our children have been helping us with financial assistance for the past 3 years with the verbal understanding that we would assign our portion of the cabin to them. How do my husband and I get our names off the deed? Since our agreement with our children was verbal, does the bankruptcy trustee have any right to this property?
