In Virginia (including Prince William County), if both you and your former spouse are on the current deed as joint owners, then both of you must appear as grantors on the Quitclaim Deed in order to legally transfer full ownership interest to one party.
Because both names are on the existing deed, both of you must sign as grantors to legally transfer your shared interest.
Since the divorce decree awards the property to your ex-husband, both of you sign as grantors, and your ex-husband will also be the grantee (the person receiving full ownership).

I understand the importance of correctly completing the quitclaim deed. Are you looking to remove your former spouse's name from the property title?
Yes.
Lexi, Chatbot
Have you already discussed this matter with your former spouse, and are they willing to sign the quitclaim deed to transfer their ownership interest?
Yes.

Is there anything else the Real Estate Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your quitclaim deed.
No.

Hello. My name is Queeneth. I am an attorney with over 8 years of legal experience.
How long have you jointly owned the house for?
For 8 years.
Both of our names are on the current deed. As per the divorce decree, my ex husband gets the house. My question is whether both of our names need to be signed as grantors.
