Name not on deed or mortgage

Posted on: 14th Sep, 2009 10:29 am
my little brother was divorced today after his wife (now ex-wife) left him for another life. in court the judge advised him to get a quit claim deed for his home which she wants nothing to do with. her name is not on the deed or on the mortgage since he had both prior to their getting married. he wrote her a check in the amount they had agreed on and she bolted from the courthouse before signing the quit claim deed. since she has the money, he (and the whole family) is very doubtful she will meet with him to sign the document at the notary. since her name is not on anything tied to the house and the judge did not directly order it, is it necessary to persue?
Probably you need to go back to court and get this legally on a paper.

You do nto want her comign back later askign for a share

Hi kellyvgirl,

You have mentioned that the ex-wife's name was not on the property deed or on the mortgage. In such a situation she does not have any ownership rights to the property. Thus, your brother will not have to make her sign the quitclaim deed. He is the sole owner of the property and will remain so.

Thanks

Guest what was the reson the judge asked your brother to get a quit claim deed

James is correct, I misread your post

When you mentined that judge asked your brother to get a quit claim deed, that resulted in my response

Any how, let us know why the judge asked your brother to get quit claim deed
