Can someone remove their name from the deed of their house?

Question

if they don't want it showing up they own it at the county assessors office? Say a husband and wife own a house together and have a loan against it. Then one of them does not want it showing up they have an asset in their name then how can one get it removed from the deed and only show one spouse's name on it

Answer 1

Talk directly with the county assessor's office with regards to their policy on public information. There may be ways to remove it from the visible section of the public records, however, anyone doing a title search will uncover both of your names eventually.

Answer 2

You may remove yourself from ownership by use of a quit claim deed. However, a quit claim deed not only removes your name from the deed, but also forfeits any ownership interest you have in the property. You will remain on the mortgage, however, and it is possible that the lien against the property for the mortgage will still show your name, since your name is on the mortgage.

Answer 3

you would have to get a quick claim deed . either go to the courthouse or have a title company do it for you. The spouse will still be on the mortgage though.
