quit claim deed vs refinance the house

Posted on: 23rd Sep, 2008 09:10 am
i am in the process of a divorce settlement. the house most likey is going to be assigned to me. currently i have a very good loan 5% fixed for 10 years under both names ( husband/myself). do i need to refinance the house?? or just ask him to quit claim me. i really don't want to refiance the house but i also would like to be protecetd . if in the future he has some financial difficulties should i be protected with the quick claim deed?
please let me know .
hi normajourdain!

welcome to mortgagefit forums!

signing a quitclaim deed will help you transfer the property in your name. it doesn't transfer any mortgage or liens. if the house has any mortgage, it is better to go for a refinance or novation. lenders generally prefer refinance.

hope this will help you.

thanks,

jerry
