Quick claim deed?

Question

I have a house with the title being in both me and my wifes name. We are now divorced and I want to sell the house. But I can't locate my wife to have her sign the quick claim deed to remove her from the title. Is there any alternatives? If so, what are they!

Answer 1

It is a quit claim deed. Get an attorney.

Answer 2

Did the divorce decree that you have give you the property? Did leave you with the choice of selling the house and splittng the procedes?

If your divorce decree says you are entitled to the property,you need to go to the attorney that helped you with your divorce to get your wife off title, a judge has decreed that you own the property, therefore your attorney should be able to draw up the quit claim deed and get the deed transferred.

If the judge did not give you the property in the settlement you have to find your wife and get her to sign the quit claim deed. ou will need to get this quit claim notorized in front of a notary. After both of you have signed the notarized quit claim, take it to the county recorder's office so it can be recorded. A quit claim deed will do the job is legal and is cost effective.

You should, once you have found your wife, call a title company, from the telephone book, tell them you want to change your title with your ex-wife signing off the title. They will do all the work to inlcude the recording, it will savve lots of headaches and other potntial problems in the future. This will cost a bit more than if you decide to go with the quit claim route.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

Answer 3

A Quick Claim Deed adds a name to title, You need a Quit Claim Deed signed by the ex wife prior to selling so she wont try and clog your deal. The divorce attorney should have already done that as a matter of procedure for final decree. Depending on the state you are in, she might still be entitled to a portion of the equity growth until her name is removed.

Answer 4

No, there are no alternatives....what you mean is a Quit Claim Deed. If she is on title with you, you cannot sell the house without her signing the Deed to the new owner or her signing her interest in the property over to you via a Quit Claim deed.

Answer 5

You'd be giving up your rights to the property, which would mean he could say weather your daughter can move back in or not. Try talking to your daughter, she obviously had somewhere else to stay if she's moving back in. Definition: A quit claim deed is a type of deed where a grantor, a person who owns an interest in a property, transfers all his interests to someone else. The grantor offers no guarantees about the title to the recipient, who is called the grantee. A quit claim deed is often used to clear up problems with a title or when someone wants to use a simple method to give up all interests in a property.
