[WSBAPT] transferring title via divorce decree

[John McCrady]

You need to review the Decree of Dissolution.  If the Decree contained sufficient language awarding the home to the husband no quit claim deed is necessary.
However, that does not remove the wife from liability under the note, so she could and no doubt would remain a party to the lawsuit.

Subject: [WSBAPT] transferring title via divorce decree

Listmates,

PC is being sued for foreclosure on a house that was awarded to her ex-husband in their divorce.  She never filed a quit claim.  Does the award in the dissolution decree act as a quitclaim instead?  I vaguely remember seeing this argument somewhere before, but now I can’t find it.

Thanks in advance,

Rachel Edmiston
