Quitclaim Deed Delete Field Settings For Free

If you draw up a valid quit claim deed and record it, you cannot "reverse" the transfer of property interest unless you prove to a court that it resulted from fraud or other illegal influence.

Quit claim deeds give rights to property; however, the rights that are conveyed may be worthless. One person gives up whatever rights he has to another. The quit claim deed does not guarantee that the person giving up the right had any rights in the first place.

Yes, it is possible for you to get your name removed. Since the property is still under mortgage, you need to discuss this with your lender. Generally, it is easier to remove your name if your mother, who will be left on the title deed, is sufficiently financially secure.

The biggest risk to using a quitclaim deed is that there are no guarantees of actual ownership, so you might not actually have a legal right to own the property. In a worst-case scenario, a grantor could transfer the property title to you and lie about being the true owner.

Once the transfer is complete, there is no way to nullify or undo a quitclaim deed unless both parties consent to the arrangement. If the original grantor does agree to take back the property, you must draft and file a new quitclaim deed to void the original.

The drawback, quite simply, is that quitclaim deeds offer the grantee/recipient no protection or guarantees whatsoever about the property or their ownership of it. Maybe the grantor did not own the property at all, or maybe they only had partial ownership.

Your ex-partner will almost certainly require your consent to remove you from the title deeds and/or mortgage. Usually after divorce or separation, one party applies for a transfer of equity to have the other removed from the title deeds, simultaneously enabling the lender to remove them from the mortgage.
