Removing persons from title. Whether it's due to death, divorce or a change in personal circumstances, it may become necessary for a name to be removed from a property deed. If it's your name, you'll typically complete a deed of conveyance. Eliminating the ownership rights of someone listed on a property deed typically involves removing the names from the deed and the title.

Because some types of property are better suited to specific deeds of conveyance, this process requires knowing more about the type of property you're discussing. Often a warranty deed will be a better choice than a quit claim deed. Regulations differ by state and by county.
