Not typically. You can prepare the transfer documents yourself, or have a title company or legal company create them for you. The county then charges a fee to record the documents after you've paid a Notary Public to notarize them. The fee from each entity in the process varies but might looks something like this:

1)$50 document preparation fee

2)$20 Notary fee

3)$35 recording fee

How do you take your ex spouse off title insurance?

An Owner's Policy only covers the actual owner of the property. When the property is awarded to a party in divorce proceedings, that person remains "in title" (still on the deed) and the original Owner's Policy is still in effect covering that person since they were on the original deed as well when the property was obtained.The non-titled (person who was not awarded a continuing interest in the property by the divorce decree) automatically falls off the title policy since their interest is transferred off by the divorce proceedings and they no longer own the property.If you are looking to take the ex-spouse off an existing deed as the result of divorce proceedings, contact your real estate attorney and s/he can prepare the proper deed vesting the interest solely into the awarded spouse with the proper legal language referencing the divorce decree.

How do you get someone off of a deed that never contributed to the down payment or mortgage payments?

Need to file a "Quit Claim Deed". However, this will not remove that persons name from the original deed of trust - the only 100% certain way of getting a name removed like this is to refinance the loan. You cannot remove someone from a deed based on whether or not they contributed to the down payment or the mortgage payments without their consent, conveyance or without a legal order from forcing them to do so.

If both your husband and you are on the grant deed and he refinances to pay off the loan with the loan only in his name will the wife still be on the Grant Deed?

Normally a lender will require the spouse who is not borrowing the money to execute a deed transferring the property to the spouse who is borrowing the money. This would normally be accomplished during the escrow process. After the loan process is completed the borrower spouse can execute a new deed to add the other spouse back on. The spouse who is being asked to sign off the deed should beware, understanding that once they sign off he or she no longer owns the property. You want to make sure that you get added back on but the property is subject to the mortgage.

How do you remove a dead spouse's name from a house deed in the state of New jersey?

If the property is owned by two as husband and wife (tenants by the entirety), there is no need to change the deed to reflect the fact that only the survivor owns the property. Common practice in NJ is to do nothing in the way of changing the deed. However; if for some reason the surviving spouse still wants the decedent's name off the deed, he/she would sign a new deed by herself as the sole surviving owner conveying the property to herself as sole owner. At that point only the survivor's name is on the deed. Names are never "taken off deeds" to reflect that a former joint owner is no longer an owner. A new deed is created to do this.
