How can i remove my exboyfriend from the deed to my house?

Patti
He is only on the deed. The mortgage and all finances are strictly in my name. Will I have to refinance?

Arlena
Refinancing isn't going to help. He owns half of the house. You need to ask him to deed his half over to you.

Archie
No, you need not refinance in your situation. With your ex's agreement, he can sign and you can record a simple quitclaim deed. By doing so, he relinquishes any ownership in your property.

Ed
You'll have to do a quitclaim deed to get his name off of the deed, and he has to agree to do it and sign it. You don't need to refinance, but talk to an attorney to get all this drawn up and legal.

Alona
Ask him to sign a deed & pay him what he wants to do it.

Ilene
You can have him execute a "quitclaim deed"

Carisa
You're gonna need an attorney for this one, hon. Your ex has got a good deal going & the attorney will probably treat it as property settlement. Unless, of course, your ex decides to be fair & signs it over to you.

Brandi
Maybe.Your boyfriend owns 50% of your home and he is legally entitled to 50% of the equity of the home...so the court could force you to refinance, pay him for half the equity in cash.You can't remove him from the deed without his signature...who is on the mortgage is irrelevant.That is what happens when you "play house" without the benefit of marriage...you get yourself into a legal mess that ONLY a judge can fix unless you two can come up with an agreement.

Arlinda
Only he can remove himself. Quit claim deed; doesn't affect the mortgages

Keshia
No you will not have to refinance but he must agree to deed his interest in the property to you and tht deed must be recorded in the county records.

Cassandra
Good God, why would you put him on the deed when you hold the note? Better see a lawyer.
