I have a question regarding a property (house) that I once shared with my ex-husband, brother and his wife. The house was purchased for $212,000.00 in 1989. My ex-husband and I signed a quit claim in the title last 1992 because we were filing a divorce, leaving just my brother and his wife in the title of the property. However, my ex-husband’s name and my name were left in the loan because my brother can not qualify of the loan amount. Here is my dilemma: My brother lost his job, and I’m afraid my brother and his wife might file for bankruptcy. The monthly mortgage is paid by my brother. But, I claim the interest during tax time so I could give some additional refund to them. Is there a way where I can be able to ask the mortgage company to withdraw my name in the loan without refinancing the house? I’m afraid that my credit is in jeopardy. Can you give me an advice? What kind of credit and asset protection do I need at this point?
