Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts

Re: divorce

Your husband can deed his interest to you in the home but unless you refinance he would still be responsible for the note and the mortgage.

I do not know why you need a Dominican Divorce, if you are both living in Massachusetts. You would file for a divorce here as long as you have lived in MA for six months. The MA divorce would be recognized under Dominican Law. You might need an Apostile of the judgment.

If you have more questions, please feel free to contact me.

Hello Julia,

Yes, you should be able to transfer the deed to your name alone. That is something that is done by an attorney, as a new deed is drafted, notarized, and then registered at the Registry of Deeds.

As far as the agreement for the divorce, we can also certainly do that as well. I imagine you need it in Spanish. We are bilingual in our offices. You need to come in to our offices so we can discuss what your desires are, and the documents can be drafted.
