The co-trustee is not on title, the trust is. Think of the name of the trust as the name of a company. For example: The Tom and Martha Living Trust is the name of the entity (company) which technically owns the house. Tom and Martha as individuals are NOT vested owners in the house. They do have a Trust Agreement that shows they are the ones who control the Trust (trustees) and therefore can act as agents of that Trust (like a CEO of a company). If you need the co-trustee removed, you must dissolve or modify the trust agreement removing the co-trustee. Then they must sign with you on a Grant Deed that deeds the home from one Trust to another. In our example, Tom would dissolve or modify the Tom and Martha Living Trust into the Tom Living Trust. Then he and Martha would sign a Grant Deed which took the house from the Tom and Martha Living Trust and gave it to the Tom Living Trust. If the co-trustee is deceased, the vesting of the home need not be changed. The Trust agreement should contain language that leaves control of the trust with the surviving trustee.

You cannot "take a name off the title". Your husband would need to execute a deed to convey his interest to you. You should consult with an attorney who can explain the consequences of making such a transfer. If you decide to proceed the attorney can draft a proper deed.

If your husband was approved for a mortgage on his own do you have to add your name to the agreement if you don't want your name on the title?

i don't think so but you should get your name on the title because if something ever happend to your husband, and even if in his will the house is left to you, you would have to pay inheirentance tax or even worse the state take the house if you don't have a will at all. if you don't want your name on any of it you don't have to, as long as he was approved alone without your income. but again i would recomend having your name on at least the title just in case.

Your ex had your car and put the car under his name what should you do?

For your ex to get the title to a car in his name, you would have had to sign the title as well. If this has already happened, you can try to persuade him to take his name off the title, but outside of this it would take a court to award the ownership of the car to you.
