This book will focus on the rights each spouse has under certain laws, situations, and circumstances, and how the division of the property will be decided by the court or through negotiation.
[quote]Hello everyone:) Well, I have a situation and need some input. My husband divorced 11 years ago, in his divorce papers, his ex gets the house, however, his name is still on deed. My question is, if she rents the house out, is he also a co-landlord? Is he entitled to rent? Would he be responsible for any costs for repairs, etc? Also, is she able to sell the house without his signature?? Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks [/quote]
Why wasn't a quitclaim deed removing his name from the deed executed? Also, is there a mortgage? Is his name still on it?
As long as his name is on the deed, he would be liable for any repairs. And if somebody gets hurt on the property and insurance doesn't cover it completely, they can go after him.
He really needs to get his name off of the deed. Why it wasn't done after the divorce is baffling. Especially since you could have avoided paying the taxes associated with filing a quitclaim deed. Now, there will be a tax for that. And who pays depends on what is in the court order and who was supposed to have filed it to begin with (which couldn't be done until your husband signed the quitclaim deed).
