Q: Quick claim signature required
Daughter received deed to father's house in 1992. Was married at the time. Divorced in 1994. House is now going up for sale. Does she need her ex to sign off on a quick claim deed?
A: The kind of deed you are referring to is a quit claim deed. I believe your question should be asked in the divorce category. The question is whether a husband in Minnesota acquires any rights to a house that is conveyed to his wife while they are married, and what effect does a divorce have on those rights. I'm surprised that this issue was not resolved at the time of the divorce.
