FAQ
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 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.
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.
Misconceptions and Realities. It is a misconception that someone can be removed from the deed. Nor can a co-owner simply take away another party's interest in a property by executing a new deed without that other party. In short, no one can be passively removed from a title.
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.
Discuss property ownership interests. Access a copy of your title deed. Complete, review and sign the quitclaim or warranty form. Submit the quitclaim or warranty form. Request a certified copy of your quitclaim or warranty deed.
A quitclaim deed transfers title but makes no promises at all about the owner's title.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.
How do I add my spouse to the deed? In Texas, you can't add your spouse's name to an existing deed, but you can create a new deed by transferring the property from yourself to you and your spouse jointly. You can do this by using either a deed without warranty or a quit claim deed.
