Is there a way to end co-ownership of a house in the state of NJ when the parties were never married and the party that is no longer living there has agreed to give up any rights to the house if the name is removed from the deed? What about the mortgage?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Yes, follow the procedure as in a divorce case. One party deeds the property to the other party whom refinances the mortgage so the mortgage is solely in the name of the remaining owner.
