Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

Seperation of Property

My boyfriend and I bought a house together a year ago and now things are not working out. I would like to get my name off of the loan and the deed. I don�t think he would be willing to get the house refinance in his own name. The interest rate is higher than when we bought the house. What are my options?

Re: Seperation of Property

Try to persuade him to sell the property. If he refuses, you can file a partition action in court, which asks the court to order a sale and division of the proceeds. If it goes this route, you'll probably lose money on the deal because of the legal expenses and the fact that it's a forced sale. Perhaps that will convince him to do it voluntarily, if he can't buy you out.
