Question: What can I do now that I am divorced and my ex-husband's name has been taken off everything, but the title company refuses to take his name off the house? -- Kellie W.
Answer: To get your ex-husband's name off the title, he must sign a quitclaim deed to you. If he refuses to do so, his name remains on the title. The title company can't do anything without a properly notarized quitclaim deed signed by him. Your divorce attorney should have insisted on receiving this important document as part of the divorce proceedings.
