Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

transferring the title and mortgage

my husband and i are divorcing and im keeping the house its in both of our names we agreed that i would have the house free and clear i want to know what i can do to take his name off the house and title, and or if he can sign a letter stating he relenquishes all rights and responsibilities and future profits from taxes and or sale of the house i will have the letter notorized as well. the mortgage co. might not let me take sole responsibility for the house payment i dont have very good credit but i can afford the mortgage payment thats why i hopefully can just use the signed and notarized letter.

Re: transferring the title and mortgage

He can quit claim the property to you. The mortgage will probably not release him from the mortgage. You can sign a hold harmless agreement with him regarding the mortgage. You should have an attorney draft the Quit Claim Deed and the Hold Harmless Agreement for you. Good luck.
