DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY NOR AM I ANY OTHER SORT OF LEGAL OR real estate PROFESSIONAL. THIS IS NOT LEGAL OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. You'll probably need and want an attorney to help with this. My understanding of the way this is generally done is the the owner being removed will deed--effectively, sell--his/her interest to the other owner, usually in exchange for some token amount, like "one dollar, love and affection." You might find some sort of pre-written, fill-in-the-blanks form for this, but you'd want to make sure it's valid for your locality, and you'd be at your own risk to make sure it got executed and recorded properly. If there's a mortgage or any kind of lien on the property, then that will be another level of complexity, as the lienholder's interest will have to be looked after as well. Just taking one's name off the deed might not eliminate his responsibility under the lien. No way I'd try to tackle that one without an attorney. A title company can help you with this, for a fee. However, you will also have to notify your mortgage company, since the loan was made to both of you.

You purchase the rights the named individual whom you wish to remove. You can't just 'take' it away from them. They have to sign over their rights to you, using a quitclaim form. If the individual has passed away, the estate can represent them. If the deed leaves the property to the survivors, you can usually file a copy of the death certificate with the deed and it will be as effective. Consult an attorney or a local title company in your jurisdiction for specifics.

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 you paid the equity to your spouse from your divorce how can you remove their name from the deed?

Answer: In a Massachusetts divorce where the decree provides that W pay a dollar sum to H and H conveys his interest to W, if W pays and H refuses to sign a deed then the court decree can be recorded and the recording of it will convey his interest. You should have proof in your divorce file that you paid him. The payment should have been exchanged for the deed by your attorney.
