Q: Purchased a home with boyfriend, have quick claim deed, never filed with county. How can I get him off it? He moved
Need to get ex boyfriend off quick claim deed. He lives in another state now and has nothing here. No mortgage, house is free and clear. Never filed with the county clerk here in Oklahoma. How can I get the property in just my name
A: You potentially have two easy solutions: get a quit-claim deed from the original grantor to you only and record it (best); or get the boyfriend to quit-claim his tenant in common interest to you only, then record both deeds in their chronological order. Otherwise you are left with adverse possession which is not good against a co-tenant in common.
