taking a name off of a deed

My ex husband purchased a home under his name, my name is not on the mortgage. However, recently I have found that I am on the deed. I would like to be removed in fear of him defaulting on his payments, they may come after me. Is that correct? Could they come after me for payments although I am not on the mortgage loan.... just the deed? I am so confused on this.. Thanks!

Can a surviving spouse remove deceased spouse's name from deed by using quitclaim deed in New York?

Hi Guest!

Welcome to forums!

A deceased spouse's name cannot be removed by the living spouse with a quitclaim deed. The living spouse will have to file the death certificate of the deceased spouse and an affidavit of heirship in the county recorder's office to remove the deceased person's name from the property deed.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

I have a quit claim signed and notarized by my exhusband. The mortgage was only in his name. I never refinanced but continued to pay all mortgage payments although to the lender it looked like he was paying them. My arm is about to readjust but I am paying of the balance of the mortgage before that happens. Will a title be arriving in his name and how do I go about having that put in my name instead?

when the loan is paid in full, you'll receive a release of the mortgage which is to be recorded in the land records. you said you have a quit claim deed - was this ever recorded? if not, you need to do so, and whether you do that before or after the release matters not. the bottom line is that you are or will be the owner of record of the property, and there will be no mortgage on the property.

i read you right, didn't i? you're paying off the mortgage, right?

If i signed my house over to my finance and he is the owner, but we failed to do a quick deed claim, and the deed is still in my name. Does that mean the house is still mine and i have a right to it??? Or can he just sell the house and i have no claim at all

tamika, if you didn't "do a 'quick' deed" how is it that you signed over your house to your fiance?

consult an attorney.

My ex husband and I purchased a house in 2000. We were seperated in 2004, finally divorced in 2009. He stayed in the home and we had a simple divorce he did not give me anything and now he wants me to sign a quitclaim for him to sell it. If I sign the Quit Claim will I give up any proceeds from the sale and if I don't sign it does he legally have to divide any profits from the sale of the house? Confused

raye, did you have a lawyer to represent you in the divorce? if so, did you not have any discussions about the property?

here you go: if you quit claim your interest to your former husband and he sells the home, he keeps any proceeds from the sale. if the two of you sell it (because you don't sign a quit claim and you both continue to own it), then you would split any proceeds of the sale, presumably 50-50. yes, you'd be giving up some rights if you listen to him.

yes...this was me...signed off and neglected to sign back on...

My ex-boyfriend and i purchased a home together, both names are on the deed. We have split up & he is now incarcerated. He made minimal payments towards the house when he lived here & i now make 100% of the payments. He is refusing to sign a quit claim deed. I am looking at moving out of state & need to sell the house.....is there anything I can do??

i purchased i house on my brother name because have some judgments with cash no loan. He received a foreclosure letter from different property that he has. What i should do with my house if my brother will foreclosure on his property. i was thinking to open an LLC and to transfer the deed. Please advise,
Thanks

I am soon to marry a man who kept his home during the divorce from his previous wife. Instead of buying her out they put a $100,000 lein on the home which has to be paid in 2017. When he and I marry I will be paying for half of all bills including home loan. Should my name be added to the house so I am intitled to some ownership in the future,and is this even possible with a lein.If my name is added and he should default on on the lein agreement how does this effect me?
