I am recently divorced and we are determining if we want to sell our home. The house is paid in full so how can I find out if my spouse decides to take a mortgage out on the home? Can this be done without my knowledge or consent since I am on the deed?
You spouse can take out a mortgage on the property without your consent if his or her name is mentioned on the property deed. You can do a title search in order to find if there is a lien on the property.
