i was married for 8 yrs and separated now for 4 but not officially divorced yet. my ex hubs purchased a condo 3 months before we got married and i had nothing to do with any paper work or any involvement with the condo. we lived in it for 8 yrs and i left 4 yrs ago due to an unhealthy and verbal abusive environment. i left everything but by cloths and started a new life. now after 4 years of being separated he wants me to sign a quit claim deed because he wants to sell the condo. what i don't understand is why i have to sign this form. could anyone be added to a title without knowing? am i entitled to something? i really would like to pay for a divorce.
MY HUSBAND & I LIVE IN az, MARRIED, OWN A HOME. GETTING DIVORCED, I SUGGEST HE TURN HOUSE TO ME "QUICK CLAIM DEED" IF HE WANTS ME TO JUST LIVE WITH HIM, SO IF THINGS DO NOT CHANGE, WE HAVE TO SELL THE HOUSE WHICH I WOULD DO. IS THAT ENOUGH? DO I HAVE MY DIVORCE LAWYER HANDLE THAT?
Hi Kathy,
Using a quit claim deed your husband can transfer house title over to you. After it is notarized and recorded at the county recorder's office you will have full ownership and would be able to sell the house if required.
But discuss this issue with your divorce lawyer and ask him to prepare the deed so that no problems can arise in future with title ownership.

Hi Kathy,
You can get back the house by using a quitclaim deed. But before planning to sell the house, have a talk with your divorce lawyer and go according to what he said.

Some clarification here. Mil, sil and husband were at the lawyers when the quit claim was done. One son was not there. It was several years ago and that is why we are questioning it now. When we went to the property tax site it shows dh name only on it. At the time, mil had told lawyer she wanted it split between all three children. We are wondering why only dh name is on the title. The lawyer is not in business anymore and mil has dementia so of no help. What are your thoughts on this? Is the person who is listed on the property tax the owner? The tax office gave us no answers and could not tell us who to contact to help us. Thank you for any help you can give.
Hi Cathy,
Welcome back to forum.
Generally property tax is paid by the owner of a property. Now if the name of your dh is only showing in the property tax site, then he might be the sole owner to the property. It is quite obvious for the tax office that they did not told you the name of the owner of the property as you are not anymore of your dh family. What you can do is to ask anyone of your dh's other siblings as they were also supposed to be on the property title as told by your Mil.
It seems that you've asked a similar question earlier. To view, you can refer to: http://www.mortgagefit.com/quitclaimdeed/includename-title.html

Thanks Larry for answering so swiftly. My husband went to the tax office and asked why he is the only one listed on the title and they shrugged their shoulders and said...it is a quit claim. They did not give out any other information. He is wondering who you would suggest he go to next to get this straightened out before his mother's death. Thanks again for all your help
Hi Cathy,
When the tax office is not answering properly to your husband, he can go to the office of the County Recorder and check out if the title is properly recorder or not. Incase if it is not recorded properly, then they will make the necessary changes in the title.
But he will have to provide a copy of the quitclaim deed showing all the names of his sibling on the deed.

i am seperated from my husband, but not divorced. my husband purchased a home while we married, and i am not on the mortgage loan, but i know i am listed on the deed. the home is now in the process of being foreclosed on. i don't want to be liable for the mortgage and i don't want any judgements on my credit. how can a quit claim deed help me?

My husband's name is still on the deeds of his home he owned with his ex. We have been married a little over a year now. On the quitclaim deed it states that he is not married and his address is the same as their old address. She still lives at this address. I told him that it needs to be corrected and he thinks I am being silly...What do you think?

This quit claim deed was made for?
If your husband's name is still on the title of the home he owned with his ex then a quit claim deed can be used to transfer ownership to ex. But has it been decided who will get ownership of that home?

It would be more appropriate to update the records to show the present status. His address is showing to be the old one, he should get it changed to present one.
In many property matters it would be important to have your correct address in the records.

Hi Yvette,
The address needs to be corrected on the deed. For that you have to go the Conty Recorder's office where the deed was recorded and get all the necessary changes done. After making the corrections to the deed, it has to recorded again there.

My husband's mother (she is a widow) has sold her house and she is putting the money from the sale ($80,000), into a $300,000 home that her daughter is buying. My mother in law plans on living with her daughter. My husband has been sent a Quit Claim Deed form to sign and as his wife, I was told to sign it also and there is a space with my name on the form.
I do not understand why I need to sign this form as my name is not on the deed.

My husband and I own a house that his mother gave us. She had a life estate interest. She has died. How do we remove her name from the deed.
