What is the name of your state? South Carolina
My husband & I purchased a house before we were married and both our names (my maiden) are on the mortgage. Now we are splitting up and I need to get his name off of the house. I changed my name after we were married, but I intend to change it back but that won't be immediately, and I am not sure how to fill out the Quit Claim Deed.
Do we put both of us as grantors with my maiden name, then only myself as grantee with my current name? For example - John Doe & Jane Smith to Jane Doe? Or should it be John Doe & Jane Smith to Jane Smith? Or John Doe & Jane Doe to Jane Doe?
All the legal documents, including the mortgage loan, have my maiden name on them.
And do I need to file anything other than the Quit Claim Deed? Where do I file it?
Also, after this deed is filed, how do I get his name off the mortgage?
Thanks!
