Re: Name on Deed not on Mortgage
You need to come to an agreement with the x. Unless you have a joint tenancy agreement that allocates the parties respective rights and portion, it will be left to mutual agreement.
If you cannot come to an agreement on the allocation or even selling the house, then you will need to file a partition action. Good luck, as this is a complex area.
