My wife and I cosigned on a home in South Carolina during the summer of 2007. We have since begun going through divorce proceedings. I used my disability settlement to make the purchase, my wife contributed nothing, but again she cosigned the deed. Is there a way to transfer the deed to my daughters without requiring her signature? She has promised to be hostile in losing out on half the value of the home, refusing to sign away her claim to the deed, and I don't want my daughters to lose the home I just purchased for them. My oldest is over the age of 18, if that helps. Thank you in advance.
Hi loveld,
If your wife is included in the title of the house, it might not be possible for you to sign over the entire ownership of the house to your daughter without her signature. It is difficult to remove her from the title, unless she quitclaims it. However, you can quitclaim your share of interest in the property to your daugter.
