Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Jointly owned property
My neice has been seeing a man for some time who is still married buy only because she will not divorce him. The wife no longer lives with him and hasn't for some time. The question is, ''Can he quit claim his interest in the property to someone else without her consent, and if not, do you have any creative suggestions as to what he might be able to do to either sell his interest or get her off of the title?''
Also, is there anyway he can get divorced from her without losing his property?

Re: Jointly owned property
If title to the property is held jointly, the quit claim deed must be properly signed and executed by both parties in order for it to be legally effective. The man your neice is having a relationship with should seek the advice of counsel and get his "house" in order. Good luck.

Your neice, if she is interested, should seek the aid of counsel.
