Best Answer

If the property was purchased in a community property state during the marriage and the husband did not waive his rights, he may have ownership rights to the property. If not, then he may not have an ownership interest in the home. Either way, he does NOT have financial responsibility for the mortgage debt unless otherwise ordered by a court. It is possible for someone to have ownership rights to a home and no legal liability for its financial encumbrances.

What happens when you remove a cosigner from your house deed?

First and foremost, you cannot remove a "co-signer" of a mortgage from the obligations of the mortgage. They may release their interest in the property by signing a deed but that doesn't release them from their obligation to pay the mortgage.This type of situation often happens in a divorce when the parties have a poorly drawn agreement that one will convey their interest to the other and the other will take responsibility for the mortgage. It doesn't work that way legally. The bank is not bound by a divorce agreement. The mortgage must be paid off and refinanced in the name of the person who will take sole ownership.

What happens to a mortgage after a bankruptcy?

What happens to a mortgage after bankruptcy depends on whether or not the debt is reaffirmed. If the mortgage is reaffirmed the homeowner continues to pay it as if the bankruptcy had not been filed, since the debt has not been discharged. If the debt is not reaffirmed, what happens to the mortgage depends on the policies of the individual lender.
