What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Tennessee
My husband and I have been married over 5 years, but his ex-wife's name is still on the deed and mortgage. Their divorce papers gave him complete control of the house, but he never filed any official paperwork.
My question is this: I think his wife can file a "quit-claim" on the property, and that will take care of that; but I don't think the mortgage company will like that. Short of refinancing, which is an option, what can we do to get her name off the mortgage?
I have never dealt with anything like this, and don't know what the options may be.
