FAQ
In real estate law, "assignment" is simply the transfer of a deed of trust from one party to another.
Typically, altering a deed requires mutual consent, making unauthorized removal unlikely. If fraudulent activities are detected, unauthorized changes can render the deed invalid, leading to potential losses for all parties involved.
The spouse whose name is to be removed from the title will need to sign the deed in front of any notary. This can be done anywhere in the world. The signed and notarized deed will then need to be filed with the county clerk's office in the county where the property is located.
Voluntary alienation is an unforced transfer of title by sale or gift from an owner to another party. Involuntary alienation is a transfer of title without the owner's consent.
And if someone wants to put you on their deed, they must tell you — not surprise you. Otherwise, you could lose the property over a court challenge that you never acknowledged receipt of the deed during the transferor's life.
Deed signed by mistake (grantor did not know what was signed) Deed executed under falsified power of attorney. Deed executed under expired power of attorney (death, disability, or insanity of principal) Deed apparently valid, but actually delivered after death of grantor or grantee, or without consent of grantor.
While not required, adding your new spouse to your deed is a straightforward process that may be advantageous.
In short, you cannot remove someone from a deed without their knowledge and express consent. Doing so without their consent can typically only be done through fraud or forgery, which is illegal. Further, an illegally-recorded deed is void and can easily be disputed and set aside by a court.
You can file a Quit Claim Deed in some jurisdictions and your husband will need to agree to be removed. This is best done with the help of a real estate attorney. You do not need to notify the mortgage company.
Transfers of real property must be in writing and notarized. Deeds should be recorded in the county where the property is located. To ensure a legal change to the property title, you'll want the services of an attorney. A qualified attorney will prepare and file the real estate transfer deed.
