This is a very question... CA is a community property state. If a spouse (for any reason) isn't going on title, they must sign the Inter-spousal Grant Deed. However; unless the non-obligated spouse was added to title at a later date, it's a one time occurrence. The deed becomes a part of the chain of title, and if the property were to be refinanced 1 or 10 times, no "repeated" action would be required of that individual (presuming, that during the course of refinance(s), the vested party has the same spouse ) |
