If you put your new wife's name on the deed to your house?

Question

Can you take it off if you want? He just put it on there for the hell of it, no legal reason. He wants to take it off now. Pls tell me he can without a lawyer.

It's not me gang. It's a friend of mine who put his new wife on the deed to the house. They are not selling but he wants to get her name off because he want to sell it now and not have to give her half. They are only married 4 years and the house was his before she came along and she's screwing up the marriage.

This is Texas law.

This is Texas law. She abandoned him and declared in writing that she did not want him so he wants her off the deed to his house he owned before the marriage before he divorces her and they've only been married 4 years. PLUS she's about 40something and he's 71. Get my drift?

Answer 1

Usually once the name has been added to the deed it is binding and the only way it can be removed is with a lawyer or a notary
why does he want to remove it even if you guys split the property will still be split down the middle I would ask him why he wants your name off the deed it makes no sense.

Answer 2

He can't, even with a lawyer: you have to do it. If you want to deed your interest back to him, write, sign, notarize, and record a Quit Claim Deed back to him. The deed must contain your name, his name, and a legal description of the property. You do not need a lawyer to do this; you do need a few dollars to pay a notary public (although your bank may do it for free) and to pay the County Clerk to record the paper. You can crib most of the wording from the present deed, including the legal description, or get a deed form at a stationery store.

Answer 3

You can do it without a lawyer. He just needs to go through a real estate agent as though he's buying the house again...but this time under his own name.

This will require his wife to sign papers to release her name from the deed and also to indicate that she's aware of what she's doing.

Answer 4

Yes, he can file a Quit Claim Deed with the County Recorder. There is a small filing fee, but since the loan is probably in just his name then nothing would need to be done on the actual loan.

Answer 5

Yeah the name can come off without an attorney. She would need to sign a waiver claiming no interest in the property and notarized and mailed to the county clerks office and filed by the courts. Simple. You can file one of these with a legal aid assistance.

Answer 6

You need to think why you care about it so much. If you are married to him now just tell him to divorce you pay 1/2 of the house to you or sell it and split the money. Next time you will be more wise whenb getting married.

Answer 7

you don't need a lawyer, but how difficult it is depends on the state you live in. Down here you just need a notorized warranty deed and take it down and have it recorded at the county courthouse, it costs about 10 bucks for the notary unless you know one that will do it for free or your bank might do it for free and 10 bucks to get it recorded at the courthouse.

Answer 8

I would have to say that because he owned the house before he got married that its not considered "marital property". I forget the legal term but its his no hers. He will need a lawyer to do this.Most likely in divorce court.

Answer 9

Your spouse would be on identify with the two co-signers. it relatively is in many circumstances a private loan company requirement. you will possibly ought to get the approval of those 2 to function you. which does no longer help you because there are actually 4 proprietors somewhat of three. often you may upload your self to the identify a million hour after final. because she agreed to the 30 day era, you would be in breach in case you do no longer wait 30 days.

Answer 10

It doesn't matter if he takes her name off of the title. If they are married and getting divorced, she gets half of everything, including any money from the sell of the house.
