MY EX WANTS ME TO SIGN A QUIT CLAIM

Posted on: 27th Sep, 2006 05:38 pm
my ex wife want to sell the house that she got in the divorce.she wants me to sign a quit claim deed tomorrow,i have paid off the second mortgage as i said i would the papers state that she has 60 days to get the house out of my name,now she has sold it should isign it or not?
Hi,

I think you should sign the quit claim deed. The quit claim deed will transfer your interest in the property in your ex-wife's name.

At the time of selling the property the property should be in her name and might be because of that she has asked you to quit claim it in her name.

Thanks

Hi,

Instead of the quit claim deed, I would say that you make a warranty deed for the transfer as it provides clear title to property to the other person.

MY BROTHER CO-SIGNED WITH ME ON MY HOUSE,WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET THE HOUSE IN JUST MY NAME AND MY WIFES NAME.

Hi TA,

To get the house in both you and your wife's names, you need to contact an attorney and get a warranty deed or grant deed (a kind of warranty deed) prepared by him. By using this deed, you can get your brother's name off the title and add your wife's name there.

You may also use a quit claim but it will not guarantee as to whether other people can claim any interest in the property later on. So, to be on the safe side, consider using either a grant deed or warranty deed.

Thanks,

Hi rod,

As the property is in the name of your ex-wife, she has the rights to sell off the property, though you have a mortgage in your name. She is owner of the property and she can sell off the property.

Thanks
