What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? alabama
I purchased an older house from a long time friend. I had repair person look at the property and he said if I would buy the house, he would do the repairs and we could sell it and split the profit. I agreed to put his name on the deed and he was to do the repairs. He did not and since has been injured so he isn't going to do them either. He has contacted an attorney and is asking me to partition the property. I have offered him $2000 to just disappear, needless to say, he hasn't. He has not kept the agreement (not on paper) and he has not participated in the maintenance of the property. Is there a simple, legal way to have his name removed from the deed? If so, how?
