You have to repay the mortgage in full whether you do a quit claim or not.

hi nh,

welcome to forums.

as far as i know, one need not pay to take someone off the title through quit claim deed until and unless there is some agreement between them. in order to fulfill your loan obligation, you will have to pay it down in full or you can ask your boyfriend to make payments on a certain percentage of the loan balance.

thanks,
james.

yes doc tamps are paid while recording quit claim deed.

I got a detailed information on doc stamps from mortgagefit.com/discuss/about1666.html . You can go through it for additional knowledge.

"to I have to pay on the whole mortgage?"
You should inform the lender as their will be a change in property title ownership and the lender might ask for the loan to be refinanced in your name.
