Utah Quitclaim Deed from Individual to Husband and Wife

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.
The only way to forcibly change the ownership status is through a legal action and the resultant court order. However, if an owner chooses to be removed from the deed, it is simply a matter of preparing a new deed transferring that owner's interest in the property.
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.
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.
One of the simplest ways to add your wife to the home title is by using an interspousal deed. You can transfer the property from your sole and separate property to mutual tenancy, such as joint tenants with right of survivorship, with your wife.
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.
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.
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.
No law forbids adding someone to your mortgaged home's deed or in signing your home over to others through one. Mortgage lenders understand deeds, though, and use loan due-on-sale clauses to prevent unauthorized property sales or transfers.
