I have recently divorced and I am the only party listed on the title to the home. I was awarded the home buy I was told a quit claim still needs to be filed. My ex wife's name is not on the deed. Would she still be listed as the grantor? Would I list my name as the grantor as well or would I be listed as the grantee only?
Welcome Casey,
If your ex-wife's name is not listed on the property deed, then she as it is does not have any rights to the property. So, she does not need to sign any deed. Nevertheless, you should speak to a real estate attorney and take his opinion in this regard.

Hi Casey!
Welcome to the forums!
I agree with Adonis that it will be a good option to speak to an attorney in order to know what you should do in this regard. Once you transfer your share of the property, you will be considered as the grantor only.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

This is not an unusual request in order to remove your wife from any legal title or interest, ie community property, she may have in the property. In this case, your wife would be the grantor (the one giving the property) and you would be the grantee (the one getting the property).
