How can I get my name added to the house title that the mortgage company owns that is in my estranged husband's name?

Dear Ms. Bowman:   Under Florida law, any asset and liability acquired during a marriage becomes marital property. with a few exce[tions. So, regardless of  the fact that the home is in his name alone, it is marital property.  You also have homestead rights to the property as you are still married, and these rights permit you to stay in the property absent a court order or agreement. So even if he tried to sell the house, the closing agent would require you to sign off on the house...which, absent an agreement, I suspect you would not do.      That said, unless there is a settlement agreement wherein you get to keep the home, or an order from a court stating the same thing, you cannort automiatically get the house in your name.   If the marriage is over you should commence a dissolution of marriage action to preserve your rights.    Best of luck, Cindy S Vova Law Offices of Cindy S.

Presumably, you hired your lawyer.  If you don't believe that your lawyer is protecting your interests, you always have the option to fire the lawyer and/or hire a new one.  Whether or not you are entitled to any refund of fees paid in advance would depend on the terms of your contract, and whether your lawyer has already performed services in good faith that have earned those fees.

Dear Anonymous:         Typically, one who is obtaining an interest in real property does not sign the deed.  Signing a deed usually means that the signer is conveying her interest in the property to someone else.  It is possible that the closing agent/title company wanted you to sign the deed so that you did not try to claim any interest in the property in the future since you were (I believe) living in the property.  However, without actually seeing the deed I cannot tell what documents you have signed or in what capacity (grantor or grantee).          Hopefully you did not sign a note and mortgage, as the note would make you liable for payment of the note/mortgage.   I suggest you look at the documents carefully to see in what capacity you signed.         However, if the deed reads that you are a "grantee"then you would own an interest in the property.         I hope this helps!   Best wishes, Cindy S.
