Does a quit claim deed release financial responsibility?
Quitclaim Does Not Release Debts Signing a quitclaim deed and giving up all rights to the property doesn’t release you from any financial obligations you may have. It only removes you from the title, not from the mortgage, and you are still responsible for making payments.
Should you put your spouse on the deed?
When it comes to reasons why you shouldn’t add your new spouse to the Deed, the answer is simple – divorce and equitable distribution. If you choose not to put your spouse on the Deed and the two of you divorce, the entire value of the home is not subject to equitable distribution.
What does adding someone to a deed do?
When you add someone to the deed, all or a portion of your ownership is transferred to that person. Even if you transfer only a portion of your interest in the property, that person will have full control of their portion and may be able to force a sale of the property.
