Why would a married couple have both names on the mortgage but only the wife's name on the title?

Additionally, this ensures that in the case of a divorce, the wife has undisputed rights to keep the property. Also, in the case of the husband having a high profile job (where he might get sued) the wife's property is more difficult to take away if he loses a suit.

∙ 7y agoThere may be several reasons why the the property is in the wife's name. However, the bank had the husband execute the mortgage in case of any default. By having the husband sign the mortgage he is responsible for paying the note and a foreclosure would wipe out any interests he may have in the property.

Can you get a mortgage commitment before a title search?
Generally, the title examination isn't ordered until there has been mortgage commitment. The reason is that people (buyers) don't want to pay for a title examination if the mortgage isn't approved. However, some lenders give a preliminary commitment that depends on the title being free of defects. In that case they want the title report a couple of weeks before the closing is scheduled.

If your daughter gets a mortgage and puts my nmae on the title with hers can the mortgage company ask for balance in full because she changed the title?
If the mortgage was not taken out in both of your names, and your name was added after the mortgage closed and funded, yes, the lender may have cause to accelerate the loan and ask it to be paid off. The lender and the title agency asks for full disclosure as to who has interest into the property at the time the property is sold or taken a mortgage against. If your name was on the mortgage, and you signed the mortgage (perfected title) and the lender approved a new deed adding you to be simultaneously recorded with the mortgage, you are fine. If you are added after the fact, the terms of the loan may be subject to default.

When refinancing a home does the new mortgage have to be in both names of owners?
That is the decision of the lending institution, but it would be very unusual for a lender to not insist on all title holders being a party of the refinancing. Complications can arise when there is a difference in the persons who are named on the property deed and those on the mortgage, most lenders will require all those on the title bear the responsibility of any financial issues in some manner. The way it is handled would likely depend upon the relationship of the parties involved, such as being married, an adult child of the mortgage holder(s), and/or how the title of the property is held.

What is the normal protocol in regards to the names on the title when a homeowner refinances?
Refinancing is simply obtaining a new loan, and should not change the names on the title. If someone is trying to take your name off the title during refinancing, they are trying to cheat you out of your share in the home. Refinancing has no effect on the title of a real property. The changing of title to real property is controlled by the laws of the state in which the property is located. It is extremely important to discuss the way property is to be held before the title is issued to avoid future legal complications. Tenancy-in-Common, Joint Tenancy, Joint Tenancy With Rights of Survivorship or Tenancy-By-The-Entirety (for married couples only). Refinancing can be used to change the names on both the mortgage and the title. That said, there are scams out there where the person who originally owned the house is told they can't be on the mortgage loan and so can't be on the title. THAT IS NOT SO. Look for another lender and question the morality of the person who wants to do this "for" you. In the case of a divorce or other split, one person can sign a quitclaim and a warranty deed and then the names on the title can be changed. == ==
