I gave my ex girlfriend money to refinance our house and pay off her bills before I moved out so she could continue living there. My name was to come off the original mortgage. Since I was moving out of the state, I signed a quit claim deed before the loan went through, upon what I was told by the Loan Office, the loan was approved. I also signed a gift letter with the Title Company stating the money was a gift, she didn't have to repay it and they would be held harmless of how it was distributed. They ended up giving her the Quit Claim deed and the money. She recorded the Quit Claim deed and kept the money. Although she is paying the mortgage, my name remains on the loan and I want my money back or the house partitioned because the gift was to get my name off. Do I have a legal case in getting my money back from her, partitioning the house, and the Quit Claim deed being reversed?
