Question

Do I need to file a quitclaim deed? I removed myself from the mortgage of a house I owned. I did not live in the house in 2021 and I did not pay taxes on it.

Extra details:  I co-owned a house with a roomate.  We had a falling out.  I moved out and we used a quitclaim deed to take my name off the mortage.

In this forum, we can only answer tax questions. Quitclaim deeds are legal questions and you should contact a reputable lawyer. You may also ask  the lawyer about your mortgage and real estate tax obligation after a Quitclaim Deed.

  • Contact the mortgage company. You signed the mortgage with them and they generally have to release you from your debt obligation.
