How does one fill out a quitclaim deed?

Posted on: 14th Jul, 2007 07:59 am
My wife's aunt and uncle helped us buy a home in 1987. The house remained in their name but we made the monthly payments to them. They last 5 years, we have been making the payments directly to the morgage company. Both aunt and uncle have passed away and the house was willed to my wife. We do not understand how to fill out a quitclaim deed in order to put the house in both our names. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
My husband and I divorced 4 years ago. I have been living in the house and making the payments and upkeep however, the loan is still in both of our names. I want to now sell the house and he wants to take it over and buy me out. In Florida, can I just quitclaim deed myself off of the loan and he takes it over and does that completely release me of any obligation for the mortgage so I can qualify for another house loan myself? Can he then keep the same loan with his name only on it?

hi guest!

welcome to forums!

quit claim deed will not help you in removing your name from the loan. it will only help you in removing your name from the property deed. your husband needs to refinance the loan in his name in order to remove you from the mortgage deed. once your name is removed from the mortgage, then you can qualify for a house loan yourself.

feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Would i be a grantor on the quitclaim deed if my husband and his deceased wife were on the deed orginally and he is adding me to a quit claim deed or would he be the only grantor

Welcome E.D.,

Your husband will have to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and remove his ex-wife from the property deed. Once the property is transferred in his name, he can add your name to the property by signing a quit claim deed. He will be grantor of the property whereas you and he both would be the grantees to the property.

My uncle passed and did not have a will, would it be possible to get a quit claim deed

Welcome tammy,

You cannot get a quitclaim deed as your uncle is already deceased. If there are no other heirs to the property, then you should contact the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in your name.

I got married in August of this year and they told me I had to fill out a quitclaim deed to myself...How do I go about doing that??? I have the form but does it need to be typed or printed??

Welcome Elsie,

You will have to write your maiden name as the grantor of the property in the quitclaim deed. In place of the grantee's name, you will have to write your married name. This will help you in changing the deed in your married. After you fill out the deed, make sure to record it at the county recorder's office.

My husband and I are separated. When we refinanced our home 2 years ago, he had bad credit so my name is the only one listed as the borrower. However, the mortgage papers indicate that the title is held jointly. Can he quit claim the house to me, since I am the sole borrower?

Dad passed away 1 1/2 years ago so Mom and I finnaly got around to taking a certified copy of the death certificate to the register of deeds. We wanted to add my name to the deed. It would then be in Mom's name and mine. The clerk told us it was filled out to take Mom's name off and put only mine on. Not what we wanted. They could only tell us to see a lawyer. Because of up coming surgery for Mom we want to get this done ASAP.

Can someone spell this out as to exactly how to word the quit claim to accomplish our desired goal.

Thanking you in advance for your help

Mike

Welcome Mike,

Rather than drafting the deed on your own, it will be better if you could contact a real estate attorney and take his help in drafting the quitclaim deed. He will draft the deed as per your state laws.

Hi JUDY!

Welcome to forums!

Your parents will have to sign the quitclaim deed as grantors and your name should be mentioned as the grantee. Your parents can even take the help of a real estate attorney and take his help in this regard.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
