I purchased an investment property with my girlfriend. We broke up during the renovation. We added up all the money spent on both the purchase and repairs. I cut her a check for the entire amount she spent. Unfortunately I wrote up a quick contract which she signed agreeing to the terms. Contacting the title company she needed to sign another document and have it notarized to transfer her ownership. She won't sign over there property to me. Am I screwed?
Unless she signs a deed, which is the only document we are talking about, you are screwed. You can bring a court case to require her to sign the deed, if you have an agreement to do so. So, you have a remedy. It is just not easy.
