Legal Question in Family Law in Utah
We have been living together 8 years and own a home together. We are splitting up and want to know if one signs a Quick Claim Deed to the other will the one be held responsible if there is a default on the loan by the other?

If the loan is in both of your names, it won't matter how title to the house is held. if there is a default on the payments, the lender will come after both of you. I would recommend that whoever gets the house, refinance the loan to get it in their name only.
