Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina
I have allowed my ex-fiance to sign my deed and since she has moved back to Pennsylvania and has no plans of returning..Since she movedover 5 years ago, I/'ve been footing everything alone. Now that have fallen on hardship, I can't get any assitance because her name is stoill on the deed. I have sent certifioed letters to her, Quit Claim Deed papers for her tosign and she hasn't..Now I am about to lose my home to foreclosure unless I can get her off and the gov't agency can start processing my help package and get it to my mortgage co/bank. What avenues can I take immediatley to get her off and move forward. I cant get any modifications or anything without her signature. Please tell me there is a way.

Unfortunately you need her sguature. You need to speak to an attorney to see if you have any leverage to negotiate with her to get her name off. If she cares about her credit, perhaps remind her that she will lose the home too and perhaps take a credit hit if you can't save it.
