My mother lives in a residence that has no mortgage. My father has lived in Mexico for about 20 years but is still on the deed. Is there a way to remove him from the deed if he will not return to the US?
Disclaimer: The materials provided below are informational and should not be relied upon as legal advice.
If your father's name is on title, he is a co-owner of the property. His name can be removed voluntarily if he wishes to transfer his title to someone else. Under certain circumstances (such as title obtained by fraud), one can sue to remove a person's name from title, but nothing in your fact patter would support such a lawsuit. You should consult your own lawyer to protect your legal rights.
