Am I Obligated to sign Deed

Posted on: 02nd Jun, 2012 02:59 pm
My husband inherited property from his Mother when she died. Two years later he added my name to the deed without my permission. I refused to sign the deed. We are now divorced and I told him I want nothing to do with the property. His lawyer sent me a letter saying that if I refuse to provide my signature on the deed my ex will ask the court to sign the deed for me and then assess me the cost of his legal fee in obtaining that court Order.

Is this legal?

I never wanted the property to begin with, and since when can someone without your permission put your name on it?
Hello mary,

In my own opinion a personal debt obligation is an amount of money legally owed to a lender that arises from a loan agreement. It involves a continuing obligation to make payments until the debt is paid off in full. A lender has the right to sue in order to collect any unpaid outstanding debt.

Hi Mary Beth,

No one can put your name on the property deed without your permission. Your husband or his attorney cannot force the court to sign the deed on your behalf. You can mention your objection to sign the deed in front of the judge.
