Re: Removing name from property deed

All you need to do is deed them all of your undivided interest. You would use a warranty deed. I usually prepare this document for $100 plus filing fee (usually $16). Keep in mind that if you obtained a mortgage on the property, you will still remain liable if they don't pay. If that is the case, please contact the mortgage company and obtain a release of liability if you can.
