Re: Quit claim deed
Responsibility for the loan and ownership of the property are separate issues. Your husband can sign over his interest in the property with a quitclaim deed, but the mortgage is a separate issue. Removal of your husband's name from the mortgage will require a (agreement by mortgage holder-don't plan on that) or refinancing by you to get his name off of the financing document (mortgage), you and he can't do that by agreement between you (even a court can't do that for you).
