Transferring Real Property as Part of Divorce

Read this article if you or your ex-spouse got a house, land, or other real property in your divorce or separate maintenance. You may need a quitclaim deed to transfer the property. This is true if both of your names are on the current deed or if the current deed is not in the name of the person keeping the property. Where this article mentions divorce and a Judgment of Divorce, assume that the information also applies to separate maintenance and a Judgment of Separate Maintenance.
