my husband was awarded his house following his divorce from his wife. he now wants to sell the house but his wife's name is still on the mortgage documents. is she legally obliged to sign a quit claim deed so he can go ahead and sell?
hi suethebrit!
welcome to forums!
you have mentioned that your husband's ex-wife has her name mentioned on the mortgage docs. in such a situation, a quitclaim deed won't be of any help. rather, your husband will have to refinance the loan in his name or assume it to remove the ex-wife from the mortgage docs.
feel free to ask if you've further queries.
