i live in missouri and my attorney wants my soon to be ex-husband to sign a a quit claim deed to our house. if he signs, will he still have the right to access the house? does it also mean that i would be totally responsible for the mortgage even if his name will still be on the note?
hi mamasita!
welcome to forums!
once your soon to be ex-husband signs the quitclaim deed and you record it at the county recorder's office, then you would become the owner of the property. he will not have any rights to access the house unless you allow it.
if the mortgage is in both the name, then you'll have to refinance it in your name. once you refinance the loan, you would be solely responsible to pay it off. if you don't, then he would also be liable for the payments.
feel free to ask if you've further queries.
