My boyfriend has been divorced for about 5 years. When they divorced she got the house and he kept his shop at a different location. He quickclaimed the house to her and they never got around to quickclaiming the buisness. She worked here until she left one day and has never been back. In the last year she had abandoned her house and it is now in forclosure. She no longer works at the buisness and when she was here she messed up the books before abandoning her job and the buisness. Is their a way of legally getting her name off of the deed? We don't know where she has moved to. Thank you!
Hi mobyvick,
You won't be able to remove the girlfriend's name from the property deed without her signatures. The girlfriend will have to sign a quitclaim deed in your boyfriend's name. Once she does so, her name would be removed from the property deed. As you do not know where she has moved to, you should contact an attorney and take his opinion in this case.
Take care.

i don't see much that will be beneficial in trying to recapture this home that is in foreclosure already. as sara pointed out, you cannot simply take over a home that once belonged to your boyfriend, and you certainly can't do so when there's a foreclosure suit pending. i would imagine that any attorney you engage will tell you something similar to this.
i also don't quite get what you're referring to about a "quit claim" on the business. unless there is real estate involved in this business, there's no such thing as a quit claim deed that would apply to a business. it's regrettable that she "messed up the books" but the only recourse in that situation is to locate her and bring charges, if that's your pleasure.
i don't see any particular remedies, as it were, in this case.

The ex-wife is on the deed of the buisness. In this state a married couple must both be on the deed. They are now divorced. She got the house and it was quitclaimed to her and she was supposed to quitclaim the buisness (different place) to him as agreed as part of their divorce. Because she worked at the buisness she never got around to signing the quitclaim for the buisness over to him. Now she has moved out of her house that was part of their divorce and it is in forclosure.We do not want the house.
cont.
We live where the buisness is (different building). I don't want her house.
We are starting a different buisness from this building and she has not been able to be reached or she is ignoring his calls. I am simply trying to find an answer to help him (my boyfriend).

now i understand that there is, indeed, real estate involved in the business. in my opinion, the best thing to do at this point is to seek the assistance of an attorney, who can suggest the best avenue to go down.
i suppose it's safe to say that you're ultimately seeking a new loan, using this business/home as collateral...is that correct? with the help of your attorney, you could attempt to have her name removed from the title to the property through the courts. that would seem to be the most effective method, particularly inasmuch as she's not reachable.
