Yes if selling they both have to sign, if they're both on the deed.

Possibly only one of you could get the loan, although both would sign the mortgage.  My wife had no credit history when we bought, so I took the loan and both of us took the mortgage.\n\nIn some states and under some circumstances, the bank might demand both of you to qualify.

you should get a real estate attorney to look over any documents way before you sign them ..so if their has to be any changes they attorney can suggest which ones and how to do it..then bring it back the attorney for final approval and then you can sign it\nGood luck

It's a "Quit Claim" and it's a type of deed.  By signing a quit claim deed you are transferring ownership of the property to your boyfriend.  I strongly recommend that you NOT do this without speaking with a real estate attorney and making yourself completely aware of what can happen.  \n\nAnd by the way, your boyfriend does not need to be listed as an owner of your property in order to be a co-signor on your loan.  Find yourself a new mortgage advisor.  A good start is speaking with a loan officer at the bank where you do most of your banking.

You can if the title to the land is separate from the house.  But I suspect the title is for the combined land and house, so you can't.  Why would you want to do this anyway?

Land contracts vary widely from transaction to transaction. It depends on the seller on what they'll let you do since it is their name on the mortgage \nIn most cases, no grant deed is recorded. The buyer rarely obtains a new mortgage loan at the time of purchase. Instead, the new owner makes payments to an intermediary, (usually the seller) who then makes payments on the Sellerss mortgage, which is still in place.\nKeep in mind that such an agreement usually violates the lender's guidelines. If the lender becomes aware of a transfer of title on the property (which is why you usually don't record the grant deed & the seller holds the title), they can exercise the "due on sale" clause of the note.  This would require you to refinance the loan or sell the property.  Since many who buy on land contracts have problems qualifying for a mortgage, you can see how this can lead to problems.\nAt the same time, lenders generally only check for transfers of  title if the loan becomes delinquent.\nWithin a certain number of years, it is expected the buyer will be able to qualify for a loan.  At that time, they will obtain a new mortgage and pay off whatever amount the land contract requires. Then a grant deed is recorded and full ownership is conveyed.\nKeep in mind that Because income from the sale of land is taxed as ordinary income, many sellers prefer receiving payment in installments through a land contract instead of receiving payment in a lump sum.\nMake you sure perform a credit check on the buyer and if you don't feel comfortable with the outcome then consider a lease option. This way the buyer can exercise the option when he/she is better off and more able to pay. This will make it a lot easier to get them out if they don't pay. It will be harder for you to remove the occuipants out of a land contract. More than likely it'll involve court proceedings.\nThe pros and cons vary from situation to situation.It wouldn't hurt to consult with a real estate attorney on this matter. Hope ths helps

You can "sell" the house but the deed or title wouldn't be clear until the 3rd lien is satisfied. The buyer might agree to some arrangement if he's paying cash but I doubt that his mortgage lender would agree to starting the loan in second position.\n\nIt can be worked out with some fancy-footwork with your third lien holder.

Question- is your divorce final?  If it is not the house Deed needs to stay the same.  If your divorce is final and you were awarded the house you would need to go to your Register of Deeds for your county and get it changed.

Have her sign a quit-claim deed.  I doubt if you can get her to sign it though without some kind of compensation.  Consult your lawyer

100% will still go to the wife. You can't designate to have someone who isn't yet living in this world to be beneficiary. Last time I checked, a person of the cloth did not dictate a will either. It must be in writing and signed.

Yes, you can. There are different ways to hold title, such as joint tenancy, joint tenancy w/right of survival, and as separate property. The rights for each may vary from state to state, so you should talk to a lawyer.\n\nJust my opinion, but I wouldn't decide to get married based on buying the house...\n\nYou can also have an agreement drawn up beforehand that spells out the ownership percentage between the two of you, and how that might change over time if one is, say, making the down payment and the other is making the mortgage payments

A mortgage involves a note and  a (trust) deed. Unless you expressly deeded an interest to your home to your ex-husband, you are the still the sole owner and he is obligated on the mortgage note (Sucks to be him if you default). \n\nThe disposition of the house and the mortgage (and debt) should have been explicitly dealt with in your divorce. If you had a divorce lawyer, you should contact the lawyer to determine if your EX has any legal rights to the home.\n\nMortgage companies and banks do not tend to be careless where a legal owner and spouse sign a note and trust deed. You may be obligated by the note. \n\nThe mortgage, however, would not entitle your EX to any interest in your home.

A quit claim deed is legal in Texas.  It's purpose is to simply say "I quit claiming any ownership in this property."  \n\nIf there was no will, but the parents' intent was to give the house to your brother in law, and your husband agrees that this was his parent's intent, then there should be no problem in signing.  If instead, your husband expects to get half the property, then don't sign.

No..the wife isn't..In fact some states will not even entertain the thought of splitting the property between the spouses when the other has inherited in a will...Let's ask you the question..If you were left a will prior to you marrying your husband, should your husband be entitle to it? Even if you inherited the property while married, it's still yours..It was willed to you.\n\nThe answer is simply no...\n\nAnything outside that..I suggest you consult with an attorney.

I assume you are talking about a deed of trust that mortgages a piece of real estate?\n\nThat being the case - if you are signed on the mortgage & it goes into foreclosure - you could lose your ownership interest in the property.  \n\nPeople can sign a mortgage using their property as collateral on a loan without being indebted for repayment.  Not the smartest move to make, but it happens.\n\nPrior to losing your vested interest in ownership - you would have the right to cure the delinquency to remain the owner.\n\nNow, if you are also signed on the contract for repayment of a loan, all collection rights of the lender apply to you.\n\nNow - if you are simply on the deed to the real estate & there is no mortgage on it - you are an owner of the property.  If it is only in your name - sole owner, if joint with other people - you own whatever % exists.  For instance 5 people on deed - you own 1/5, 2 people on the deed - you own 1/2.\n\nThis what you mean?

As long as his name does'nt appear on any of the legal documents, NO.  If you refinanced within the 12 years and added him then you would.  He must sign papers @ closing in order for your to sell.  If thats the case he could refuse to sign over his right to the property unless you pay up!  I would call any real estate settlement company and ask to be completely sure.  I am not sure what NY law states.
