Re: Quit Claim Deeds
Your husband would have to sign a properly-prepared deed (quit-claim deed or warranty deed) before two witnesses and a notary public, deeding his interest to you. It does not legally require an attorney, but you want to be sure it is completed and signed correctly. That deed would then be recorded at the Lee County recording office. However, if you are still married, and it is your home, he would still have to sign the paperwork if and when you wished to refinance the mortgage, or to sell or otherwise transfer the home to someone else.
