can i file a quit claim deed removing my husband from a house title? i reside in a community property state and he was required to be on the title. we are separated, but not legally divorced. he is cooperative. would his rights to the house be removed when the quit claim deed and filed and recorded with the county?
yes he could quit claim and be removed from title, but he would be smart not to do this if he is also on the mortgage. a quit claim will not change his liability for payment so he would not be very wise to do this. you need to refinance the mortgage into your name alone if you can to completely remove him from any obligation.
