Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Tennessee

Re: Quick claim or how to re-finance house in my name only

When you were divorced, the court should have entered an order pertaining to the equitable distribution of the marital property --- including your house. You will have to go by that order. Assuming that it gave you complete ownership of the house, then you should contact your local Recorder's Office at the county courthouse and see if they will transfer title to just your name based on the divorce court's order. If not, then your exhusband will have to sign a quit claim deed granting to you all his interest in the property. With the quit claim deed, the Recorder's office will modify the title to show it is solely in your name.
