I guess I really need a lawyer now

My husband took me off the mortgage without my permission. That's illegal right?

Did he refinance your home? And yes, a lawyer is in order!!

Re: I guess I really need a lawyer now

Oh my, that's scary. I'd definitely contact a lawyer, but also try to research to find out exactly what he's done and if anything else was done that he hasn't told you.

Refinancing is the first thing I thought of, too. Call the mortgage holder tomorrow and ask how that happened - and find a lawyer.

Re: I guess I really need a lawyer now

seems like as long as you are on the deed , all is well. Who wants to be obligated on a mortgage? The deed is thepart you want to check on.

Thing is, if he defaults on the mortgage, she would have lost a home before she would even know. How do I know this? Happened to me when my now-ex pulled the same thing on me just before he split. Get that lawyer, girl!

Do you think he knows what you said you would do if you won a BIG lottery? "I would get a divorce and buy a house close to the beach". Get a lawyer ASAP and pull his electricity hook up.

I totally agree. Honestly, you need to dump that load to begin with. Get a lawyer asap!

Re: I guess I really need a lawyer now

As a Realtor, I know that here in Louisiana we are a community property state and he could not do that legally here. Don't know what you're laws are, but he shouldn't be able to do that....get a lawyer!

Re: I guess I really need a lawyer now

Can't do it legally, no, but without a lawyer, he sure can get away with it.

Once you have signed a promissory note with a lender, it's valid until such time as the loan in question is paid in full. There's no way that another party (wife, ex-wife, husband, ex-husband, and on and on) can cause the lender to remove a name.
My father did that to my mom about 40 years ago. She found out when they divorced and the house was to be sold. He had taken out a second mortgage and so there was no cash from the sale.
I agree with everyone. I would go talk to a lawyer as soon as possible. I would also run my credit report and check all my bank accounts and utility accounts. If you have a joint will I would get with a lawyer and make a new will asap.
