Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota
Quit Claim Deed
My wife is getting the house in our divorce. I was told that a Quit Claim Deed is what needs to be done in this case. The sentence in the decree says ''The transfer of said homestead shall be accomplished through the use of a summary real estate disposition judgment.'' Does this accomplish the same thing, or do I need to do somthing else to make sure that I get my obligations cleared. Thanks

Re: Quit Claim Deed
When it comes to the transfer of homestead ownership in a divorce, it's done however the decree says it is to be done. Look at the decree. If it says you are to do a quit claim deed, than that's what you are to do. If it says something else, then you don't need to do a deed.
A deed is not the only way to transfer ownership. It can also be done by court order, which is how it sounds your decree is written. Ordinarily, if a deed is needed your X or her attorney would be after you for it. If they aren't bugging you about it, they probably don't need one.
Good luck.
