Remove one party from a mortgage

Posted on: 13th Oct, 2008 07:30 pm
Both of our names are currently on the mortgage... I cannot refi on my own because we are up side down on the loan. Can we Quitclaim it ?
hi and welcome to the forum. a quitclaim only removes or adds names from/to the title, not the mortgage. unfortunately, a refinance is required to do that.

hi heatherpetros!

i agree with sweeney in regard to the quitclaim deed. he is also correct saying that you will have to refinance. even lenders prefer refinancing for transferring the mortgage. however, you can try for the process of novation provided you can convince the lender for this.

thanks.

there is clearly more here than meets the eye, heather. what is it that causes you to have to refinance in one name only? have you attempted, yet, to negotiate with the lending institution?

Hi Guest!

Welcome to forums!

If you want to remove your name from the mortgage docs, you will have to ask the co-borrower of your loan to refinance it in his/her name. Once this is done, you would be free from the liability of paying off the loan.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
