QUESTION
How do I get my name removed from a law suit
Asked on Aug 29th, 2016 on Litigation - New York
More details to this question:
I'm a defendant in a foreclosure action but I do not own the property. I was served and timely submitted an Answer in mid-July to be on the safe side (stating taht I don't own the property). Can I send interrogatories to the Plaintiff? And, how can I be removed from the law suit? If I can be removed, I assume it would be by submitting a motion to the court. Is there a special name for such a motion?

You are probably named to clear title in some fashion, either as a co-signer on the loan, a former owner, or a creditor of the owner. Have a lawyer for a few bucks review the complaint to make sure that no relief, other than clear title, is demanded against you. If so, you can ignore it, but will continue to receive some papers.
