WHAT CAN BE DONE IF I AM NOT NAMED ON THE DEED OF TRUST?

QUESTION: I am contemplating a divorce and currently am not on the deed of trust of my husband's house. Can my husband add me to the deed of trust on this house without my knowledge or consent?

MY RESPONSE: The more pressing concern is if you are not named on a Grant Deed, Interspousal Transfer Deed, or Quitclaim Deed, providing you a share of ownership of the house. The Trust Deed is a document which secures a loan against the property. If you weren't named on the Trust Deed, you likely are not a borrower on the loan, and you likely aren't an owner of the house. For you to be named on the Trust Deed as a borrower, you would have had to sign the loan application to be liable on the loan.
