A quit claim should be easy enough to get. Luckily you don't have to deal with both being on the mortgage.

well that's really the issue. He has been removed from auditor with her divorce papers. I have no idea where to go with this. They gave us until tomorrow to get the quit claim or back to the marketing department. Title Company, underwriter and attorney say that divorce decree and what she did at court house was the same thing as quit claim. Liquidation Mgr. says no.

There should be a quit claim deed recored at your county courthouse. Here it is recored and put online by the clerk of courts.  Where are you located?

I just checked that county, have you searched the county records to find the quit claim deed. If it was recorded it should be there

You have a not atypical a-hole as a liquidation manager.If you locked horns with her, you lost.  If it was truly all bluster from her, you can tell her that you are having trouble coming up with the quitclaim (criminy, if this ex is in the least cooperative, you can zip one off in 30 seconds) and the county clerk won't give you a copy or whatever the situation is.  You know its the banks rules, etc. and not her - she is doing what she can for you and is there anything in this situation which you can substitute? Does she have any suggestions for you to try. Blah blah - get her on your side.

 

Now, if you've already blown that by having a shouting match, etc., Call in and get to her supervisor and explain the situation and what your issue is and that this person insists that there is this only one impossible thing which is good enough and wants it before she takes her bath tonight, etc. (although, unless the ex is blocking you, I really don't know what the big deal is to doing a quitclaim for WF..??).

 

By being open and making the issue that you have clear, someone in management is likely to respond positively when you ask how you can do what WF needs in some other way, etc.

 

If you think about what the quitclaim means, I'm sure that there are other ways to accomplish the same thing.  It is very simply a statement that this person will declare NO interest in whatever is quitclaimed.  So, WF just wants to make sure that they don't have a lawsuit if they allow the sale w/o this person's signature on it.  And, this manager looks and sees that rule 117342 tells her that if the ex is not in the sale, WF needs a quitclaim, or its her job for not getting it..  She is not allowed to think - higher management is..

 

[Me? I have to wonder why it is impossible to get a copy of the quitclaim from the county clerk or to have the ex sign one on the spot - so, some big things must be missing here..]  Geesh, franklin county - where my useless atty screwed up my divorce.. Hmm...thx for the memories.. ;-)

Makes me wonder if a guit claim was ever completed.
If Ohio is a title state, then the title company who is handling transaction can verify for you and get a copy with ease.
