For yoru to get out of the loan, you need to ask your huaband to refiance the loan in his name alone

That will remove you from the current loan

If it is a private lender you need to aks them to write a new loan agreemtn with yoru husbands name on it only

Hi jmcpa,

As your husband is getting the property in divorce, you can sign a quitclaim deed and transfer it to him. As far as the loan is concerned, you can either ask your husband to refinance the loan in his name or go for a novation. Novation is also a method of transferring the loan from one person to another. But again, you should note that lenders prefer refinance compared to novation.

Thanks
