If I am on the deed but not the mortgage of my home, what are my responsibilities in terms of a foreclosure?

Question by JS: If I am on the deed but not the mortgage of my home, what are my responsibilities in terms of a foreclosure?
My partner and I have lived in our home for 10 years. Originally, we were both on the deed and mortgage but the last time we refinanced, we did it her name only because we got the best rate that way. Now we are separating and I’m leaving the home. What are my responsibilities in terms of the mortgage if she goes into foreclosure?

Best answer:

Answer by the kid
In terms of the mortgage, none, though being on the deed may trash your credit. You may want to quit claim your interest to her to be totally free.

    Legally? NONE.

    However, morally you have a obligation to your partner. Leaving her high and dry is wrong.

    Try calling the National Association of Homeowner Advocates, http://www.naoha.org Found out about them through someone I know – they helped me for free no upfront fees and very helpful.. they had very knowledgable staff when I called in I tried for almost 2 years with BofA to get a loan modification and they got my delinquent payments caught up and reduced my payment down almost 40%. They can save your home!
