A friend of mine living in colorado has a husband who recently filed for divorce from her, well it turns out that her name is no longer on the deed of trust, she doesnt remember signing, her husband basically took care of all the finances. What is happening is that he is now trying to throw her out of the house. She cant recall ever sitting in front of a notary public to sign any documents. The husband will not tell her whos name the house is in, but yet he still has some sort of interest in the property abviously since he trying to throw her out and he tends to live there. She thinks that he might have had the house transfered to someone in his family.
He says he has nothing to discuss with her.
Wouldnt a quick claim have to of been signed in front of a noatry public, is there any thing she can do?

Hi albertoreyes,
If your friend's name is not on the property deed, then she won't be considered as the owner of the property. In that case, the husband can ask her to leave the property. If your friend doesn't know whether or not she is on the deed, then she can contact the county recorder's office and get a copy of the property deed. If her name is on the property deed, then she will be considered as one of the owners of the property.

it's necessary for your friend to visit the local recording office to ascertain who is currently holding title, and concurrently, find out how that title was obtained.
a simple phone call to the tax assessor's office will probably suffice to learn who owns the property at this time. such information is public record, and i've found (countless times) that such a phone call is responded to readily.
