Can a persons name be removed from a property deed without their consent?
Since the title of the lot and the house belongs to both of them, transfer through sale can only be effected by proper document, e.g. deed of sale, deed of assignment, deed of conveyance, etc. , as the case maybe, if the other person is out of the country, that person can execute a Special power of attorney to give such power to the other co-owner to dispose said property. However, in your question, a property cannot be disposed off unless a legal document is executed as in the case above. In another instances though, that, if the real property of said property is unpaid for a number of years, the municipality/city/provincial government can auction the property to answer the taxes, even, without the consent of the owners. But, the owners can rightfully redeem the property still, within 2 years from the date of auction or from the certificate of sale.
