Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina

Transfer of deed.

My ex-boyfriend and I bought a house together and have since split. Both our names are on the mortgage and the deed. We need to transfer the deed to my name only (he is in agreement.) What paperwork do we need to submit to the Register of Deeds (i.e. quitclaim deed, new deed)? Also, he now lives in California and I'm in North Carolina. Do we both need to be present to sign? He will not be back in North Carolina any time soon. Do I need to sign the transfer of deed as well? Thank you.

Re: Transfer of deed.

If he is transferring his interest to you, only he would need to sign the deed (and have it notarized). Then you would record it at the Register of Deeds office in the county where the property was located.
