Re: quit claim

If your husband signed a quitclaim deed to you, then apparently you own the property. You could sign a quitclaim deed to him and yourself so that his name would be back on the title to the property. I would be careful because most mortgages have a "due on sale" clause that allow the mortgage holder to hold the debtor in default if there is any transfer of legal ownership. I think that it would be a good idea for you to consult with an attorney.
