Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

Re: Wants Out

The easiest and cleanest way to get the other person off of record title to the property is to refinance the property. Since you claim there is no equity in the property, equitable division of the asset is not an issue between the parties. However, you must understand that refinancing the property into your own name and taking the other person off of title (deed will need to be signed by the other person to transfer to your sole name) will result in you being solely responsible for all of the refinanced debt and other obligations incurred with regard to the property.
