Best Answer

NO. Simply transferring your interest to the other party will leave you still responsible for paying the mortgage. As part of the transaction you must require that the other owner refinance the property in their own name and pay off the existing mortgage.

Your attorney should be able to explain this process to you and take care of the necessary paperwork. It should be made part of the divorce agreement.

Do you need to refinance your house if your ex husband signed a quit claim deed as part of a divorce agreement?

AnswerYou need to review the term of your divorce agreement. It may require that you refinance.Property that was once marital property and that is being transferred from one former spouse to the other pursuant to a separation agreement should always be refinanced by the receiving party. Otherwise, even if they have conveyed their interest, the ex-spouse remains responsible for paying the mortgage. If it goes into default his credit will be ruined.Your ex-husband should have insisted that the property be refinanced in consideration of his transferring his interest to you. The only way for him to be released from the mortgage obligation is for the mortgage to be paid off and then refinanced.
