Re: deed

I have read what the other lawyer wrote. I disagree, PLEASE DO NOT SIGN A DEED OR ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL YOU TALK TO A LAWYER IN PERSON.

You have said that this is your former boyfriend. There are probably other things involved in this besides just a deed. Please go see a lawyer.

You will need to get some solid advice before taking any action.

I would be happy to talk to you. I am in Hackensack (northern New Jersey). A brief telephone call will be free.

Re: deed

If your name was added to the deed [which means, if your fbf signed a deed giving you an interest in the property and recorded the deed], but you are not in any way connected to the mortgage, you may also sign a new deed transferring back your interest in the property to your fbf and record that deed. This is the only way to get your name off title to a real property.

You should consult with a local real estate lawyer to assist you with this.
