Removal of Name from Title of Property
What are the necessary procedures to remove an unmarried individual's name from the title on a house. The Mortgage is only in one name, it is just the title that the second individual's name needs to be removed.

Re: Removal of Name from Title of Property
Not easy to do, unless the "removee" agrees to voluntarily convey his or her interest to the remaining owner(s). You either negotiate a buyout of this individual's interest in the property and he or she then executes the necessary document(s)or you file suit in the local circuit court for a sale of the property in lieu of partition with division of the sale proceeds among the owners of record.
