i have paid off a loan in full that was still under my ex-husbands name. i do have a quit claim deed that we recorded when we divorced. i have recently gone online to the county recorders office and found the copy of the release of deed. if i am thinking of selling home in the next year, do i need to stress out that this may have not been completed as required? as i said, i do have the copy of the recorded quitclaim deed. i was under the impression that i would receive a title to my home after i paid off the loan but perhaps i am wrong about that. when does a person receive something written that guarantees them the home if theirs? i just need to feel a bit more secure and am unsure what to do!
thanks so much.
thanks so much.
Hi vconor,
If your ex-husband had signed the quitclaim deed in your favor, then the property should be in your name. If this is not the case, then you'll have to ask your ex-husband to sign a quitclaim deed so that you own the house solely. Once he does so, then you can sell off the property and you won't have to give anything from the sale proceeds to your ex-husband.
Thanks
