Q: How to get someone off of a mortgage/deed that wants off and is not on the note?
My wife and I bought our house with her brother in 2009. He then got married and was buying a house so my wife and I had to refi which we did in 2013. Now we come to find out when we were foreclosed on recently he received the legal papers as well b/c he's still on the mortgage documents. Yet he is not on the note so owes no money plus he wants then tried to do a quit deed but was told he can't b/c he is on the mortgage papers with PHH. All of it was them they made us do the refi without him in order for him to get his new loan with them but they leave him on our mortgage but not the note.
