If my soon to be ex wife filed the house in bankruptcy but I filed to keep it will she still have rights to the property even though she is no longer on the mortage but her name is on the deed. Can I now remove her name from the deed.
she is no longer on the mortgage???????????
was she on the mortgage???? who took her off the mortgage and how did was she removed from the mortgage?
if she is on the deed, she is still an owner. if she is soon to be ex-wife, was the house awarded to you per a divorce decree????
if there is something legal that says she should not be an owner, she can be removed from the deed. if there is nothing legal, she may agree to be removed, but, you can not force her.
if she is filing bankruptcy, there may be some legal problem taking her off ownership if the debts she owes can chase the house to recover.

Hi Guest,
"she is no longer on the mortage but her name is on the deed"
Do you mean to say that your wife has been discharged from bankruptcy and she is no longer responsible for the mortgage? But her name is still on the property title, right? Well, if this is what the situation is, then she is still a legal owner of the property. The bankruptcy may have released her from her financial liability, but it does not take her ownership rights away. Thus, if her name is on the title, you cannot forcibly remove her name from the deed until she give up her ownership rights.
