Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Utah

Name on house title

About 8 months ago I put my partner's

name on the house title. I have been living

in the house for 5 years prior. We are

going to break up and I wondered what my

options are. Can I take her name off

without her signing anything? Is she

entitled to get 1/2 the equity in the house?

Please let me know.

Re: Name on house title

What kind of "Partner"? Business partner? Bridge Parnter? Domestic Parnter? Why was the "partner" "added" to the title (by Deed?) Was money exchanged? Business deal? Estate Planning?

You will likely need their signature to remove their interest by Deed or other instrument. Depends on answers to above.
