Hi, 8 years ago I signed a quitclaim deed transfering our house property back to my ex-husband after our divorce. now 8 years later he says it was done wrong and wants me to sign another quitclaim in which both our signatures are requested on this form with an attached "exhibit A" paper. he says he is trying to re-finance and they will not let him without my signature. I was never on the loan in the first place. I originally quitclaimed my right when we first purchased the house and he grant deeded it back to me so I would not give up my right to the property. However , during our divorce I gave up my rights and again quitclaimed the property back to him. If my name is NOT on any loan and I have already quitclaimed it back to him 8 years ago, why would he need me to do so again? and should I?
Hi ggofpr,
If you had signed the quitclaim deed 8 years back, then there's no need to sign a deed again. That deed have transferred the property to your ex-husband. However, if the deed was not recorded, then it won't be considered as a valid document. I would suggest you to contact a real estate attorney and take his opinion in this issue.
