So far, my ex has said he's a "man of his word" and plans on giving up his interest in the house. My lawyer has drafted a fairly fill in the blank agreement with only changes to say that my ex will sign over his rights to the house and I will work quickly to get him off the deed and mortgage. Once he signs the agreement, how do I go about getting him off the deed? When I called a real estate lawyer, he said they don't do that and it has be done through a separation agreement. I'm confused.

My real estate lawyer had us sign a document transferring joint ownership to my sole ownership when I put the mortgage solely in my name. No separation agreement was needed. The document was a standard contract called “Transfer” that I have used in every real estate transaction I have had. Call another real estate lawyer?

This is why I'm so confused. The bank has said that they cannot do anything about removing his name from the mortgage without a separation agreement. Everyone says the other has to go first. Frankly, I'm scared to take him off the mortgage before he signs something getting off the deed. I can see him removing himself off the mortgage but then refusing to sign off on the deed.
