His name was suppose to be on the loan and deed..it is no longer on there..we don't know why..That's why I was asking..
His name is still on the deed unless somebody physically erased it. It's obvious you don it understand how real property transfers are effected. When a person with an interest in real property wishes to transfer some or all of their interest to another party, they execute a deed, with themselves as the grantor and the party they are transferring the interest to as grantee. That deed lives forever. One does not remove their or any name from "the deed". If the new owner of the interest chooses to transfer all or part of their interest, they then execute a deed listing themselves as grantor and the party recieving the interest as grantee. Again, that deed lives on forever exactly as it was written.
So, at some point there was an owner of the property that transferred their interest to your brother and his wife. That deed still exists and it still has your brothers name on it.
If your brother is determined to no longer be an owner of any share of the property, either he executed a deed transferring his interest to another party or a court did it. If a court did it, it would require your brother to be given notice of the court action that allowed the deed to be executed removing your brothers interest.
What you mean to say is your brother appears to no longer be in title. That is he is no longer determined to have any interest in the property after somebody has researched the chain of title. The chain of title is created and documented by the series of deeds and any other actions that might affect title.
So, if your brother did not sign a deed as grantor since he purchase of the property, either he still holds an ownership interest or there was some court action that divested him of his ownership interest.
If he is no longer a mortgagor (the borrower in a mortgage loan), he most likely relinquished his ownership interest at the same time he was released from the mortgage loan. He is most likely either he is not telling you the truth or doesn't understand the truth.
To be certain he should research the deeds listed with the registers office to attempt to ascertain where along the way he relinquished or lost his interest in the property.
