Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan
Quitclaim deed question
I recently bought a house and had my
girlfriend's name quitclaimed on the
deed. Things didn't work out and we're
separated now. My question is, if she
leaves without taking her name off the
deed, is there anything I can do with
the house, as far as selling or renting
it is concerned? And is there anything
I can do if she refuses to take her
name off the deed?

Re: Quitclaim deed question
Once a person is on the deed to a home it is generally only possible to remove their name in two ways. The first, as you are aware, is to have them sign off of the home and execute a deed showing so. The second, and more difficult is to file a court action to partition the home in the Circuit Court of your County. Some additional information may be found in the newsletter of www.SevickLaw.com
Re: Quitclaim deed question
The house is yours as well as hers and you will be able to rent it out without her permission however, you will need to get her name off the deed if you want to sell without her permission.
