DO NOT DO IT....That means you will be owning the house too. It will affect your income taxes (interest) what about your credit rating, will he be making the payments on time? What about foreclosure? I suggestion is to stay away from the deed. bad bad idea.....let him work out his own mess. why doesn't he just sell his interest to the ex-girl? Or the other way around?
