quick claim deed

Posted on: 07th Sep, 2006 10:42 am
Hi, My husband and I bought a house a year ago. The actual loan and title in in his fathers name because of our credit history. Can we use a quick deed to change the ownership to us. I would like to have our name tied to it since we pay the bill every month.

Hi Tracy,

Your father-in-law can quit claim to have ownership of the property transferred to both of you. That is quite possible to do.

Hi,

There is one more option for you, you can ask your father-in-law to quit claim the house to include both of you along with your father-in-law.

I say this since your credit score is not good; the lender may hesitate to have the loan obligation being transferred in the name of you two if you want to change the house ownership rights from your father-in-law's name to your names.

hi tracy,

you can add your names on the title through quit claim deed. but it is better to use a warranty deed or title deed.

refer to this discussion for further details.

however, adding your names through a deed does not add you to the loan. the loan will remain in the father's name as mentioned in the mortgage note.

thanks,

caron.

Hi Louise,

Welcome to forums.

If the loan is not in your name, I think there won't be any problem taking your name off the title by a quitclaim/grant deed.

Thanks
