Property Transfer After Divorce

When a divorce includes real estate –such as a home, land, mobile home, or vacation property– it may be necessary to legally formalize the transfer of ownership from one spouse to the other.

The most commonly used legal instrument for this purpose is the Quitclaim Deed, also known as a deed of transfer of rights.

What Is a Quitclaim Deed?

A Quitclaim Deed is a legal document by which one person transfers any interest they have in a property to another person.

In the context of a divorce, it is commonly used when:

  • A marital home is awarded to one of the spouses
  • It is agreed that one of the spouses will retain a specific property
  • It is necessary to formally remove one of the title holders from the property deed

The quitclaim does not "sell" the property. It simply transfers the rights a person has over it to the designated beneficiary.

It is important to know that a separate quitclaim is required for each property that must be transferred.

Our Quitclaim Service

At Divorce Online we offer the professional preparation of quitclaim deeds as a complementary service to our uncontested divorce process.

An attorney with experience in family law prepares the document based on the case information and provides you with clear instructions for its correct signing, notarization, and recording.

For customers using our uncontested divorce service, the cost of the quitclaim service is $99.

For non-current customers, the cost may vary depending on the state and the complexity of the case. In that case, you will need to contact us to receive personalized information.

If you are already a customer, you can request this service by sending an email with your Case ID requesting the preparation of the corresponding quitclaim.

Beyond Divorce: Post-Divorce Services

Divorce finalizes the marriage, but does not always end the administrative tasks.

At Divorce Online we also provide guidance and assistance with subsequent processes, such as:

  • Updating bank and financial accounts
  • Name and identity changes
  • Property title transfers
  • Post-divorce documentation reorganization
  • Assistance with additional legal documentation

Our goal is to simplify every post-divorce step so that nothing remains pending.

In future sections of the site you will find specific pages that will explain each of these services in detail.

Precision and Legal Security

The transfer of property is an important step that must be done correctly to avoid future legal problems.

An incorrectly drafted or improperly recorded document can create complications with mortgages, taxes, or future property sales.

For this reason, we recommend that the quitclaim preparation be carried out by a professional with legal knowledge, even when the divorce is uncontested.
