my wife was previously married. he former husband is deceased. he originally owned the home and only his name was on the deed. they did do a refinance and she ended up on the mortgage. as it stands now, her name is only on the mortgage not on the deed. how do we go about getting his name off the deed and her name on it? thank you.
Hi Russell,
If the ex-husband does not have any heirs, then your wife can try and file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in her name. She can even contact an attorney in this regard.
