Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Re: remove my name, relocating

Getting "off the deed" is easy - A quit claim deed could be prepared and filed. Getting "off the mortgage" is a larger issue because you would need the lender to agree to release you (which is unlikely for most lenders) or have your mom refinance the property. If she's going to sell the property, refinancing now does not make financial sense. The best bet seems to be to get the property sold as soon as possible.

Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have not already done so, you should immediately meet with an attorney who is familiar with real estate law for a full consultation before you take any further steps. You may feel free to call me to discuss this matter in more detail. If you do so, mention Law Guru and your first one hour of time will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
