Understanding this form

FAQ
In California, all property bought during the marriage with income that was earned during the marriage is deemed "community property." The law implies that both spouses own this property equally, regardless of which name is on the title deed.
In states like California and Florida, the spouses may use a quitclaim deed to transfer the property without warranting title. Other stateslike Texasrecognize a similar type of deed called a deed without warranty.
In order to transfer ownership of the marital home pursuant to a divorce, one spouse is going to need to sign a quitclaim deed, interspousal transfer deed, or a grant deed, in order to convey the title to the property.
It's often easier to qualify for a joint mortgage, because both spouses can contribute income and assets to the application. However, if one spouse can qualify for a mortgage based on his own income and credit, the mortgage does not need to be in both spouses' names unless you live in a community property state.
Two of the most common ways to transfer property in a divorce are through an interspousal transfer deed or quitclaim deed. When spouses own property together, but then one spouse executes an interspousal transfer or a quitclaim deed, this is known as transmutation.
It is also crucial that a spouse know about the loan, even if he or she is not on the mortgage. In general, the spouse must sign a deed of trust, the Truth in Lending and Right to Cancel documents. By signing these documents, they are simply acknowledging the existence of the mortgage.
But you might be wondering if an owner can transfer a deed to another person without a real estate lawyer. The answer is yes. Parties to a transaction are always free to prepare their own deeds.A quitclaim deed, for example, is far simpler than a warranty deed.
A person who signs a quitclaim deed to transfer property they do not own results in no title at all being transferred since there is no actual ownership interest. The quitclaim deed only transfers the type of title you own.
If you sign a quitclaim deed to release yourself from ownership of the property or a claim to the title, then that doesn't mean you are no longer held accountable for the mortgage payment.Otherwise, you may be held responsible for unpaid payments despite no longer having a claim to the title.
