Dishonest Roommate

Posted on: 10th Oct, 2011 10:14 am
My dad put his live-in girlfriend on the title of his house a few years ago so that she could take advantage of the golf club at discounted rates. The house is paid off. When he did this, he made her sign in front of a notary that this was the only purpose of putting her on the title and that the house was 100% his house (Quit Claim). They have now come into trouble and he would like to get her off the title but she refuses to sign anything. What shoudl my dad do?
Hi Tonya!

Welcome to forums!

Unless that person signs the quitclaim deed and removes her name from the property deed, your father won't be able to own the property free and clear. Your father cannot force her to sign the quitclaim deed to transfer the property to him.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Hey Tonya,

As Sussane stated earlier, your father will not be able to remove the name from the title unless she signs the quitclaim herself. Since she is on the deed at the moment, she is entitled to a percentage of the equity on the home. I would advise you to consult an attorney and see if filing a partition law suit would be best.

Hope this helped out
