The original deed of trust contains the names of both husband and wife. This is a Joint Tenancy Deed ... no changes can be made without the consent of both parties, and that includes refinancing. One or the other spouses will need to "buy out" the other's interest and gain sole ownership before attempting this.

Can you drop a spouse from a mortgage without their signature by refinancing?

You can refinance without the spouse but you will need their consent to do so. If the spouse is on the title of the home, the answer is "no". If the spouse is on the existing mortgage the answer is "no". If the spouse is not on title you need to indicate on the loan application that you are married, and if you don't is fraud. At the time of closing she/he would have to be present. Inform you spouse of your actions.

You will have to refinance your loan in order to get his name off. The loan now has both of your names on it because you both appied at the same time. This mortgage has to be paid off in order to remove the ex-spouse. That means you will have to apply for a new mortgage in your name only.

If you are going through a divorce can one spouse sign over their half of the mortgage to the other party without having to refinance?

It is my understanding that if both are on the mortgage, you must refinance so that you are both not held liable for the balance. If still on the note the other person would not be able to qualify for another house, car, etc. without that being considered as part of their debt.

You divorced- signed a quit deed and still remained on the mortgage. What happens when the ex-spouse dies?

In that case you would be responsible for paying the loan on property that you do not own. When you signed the quitclaim deed you should have required that the ex-spouse refinance the mortgage in order to take your name off as co-mortgagor. Your attorney should have addressed that issue at the time of the divorce.In that case you would be responsible for paying the loan on property that you do not own.
