Yes, you can. But, you will still be liable for the mortgage note and it will still appear on your credit report (including late payments, if any, that are made).

You also may have a gift tax consequence of the equity being transferred.

And, finally, if you are trying to avoid a judgment lien against you from attaching, the minute you take title, the lien attaches.

Here’s the big question. I want to buy a house, and live in it, but I don’t want it in my name after the sale. It will be financed. Can I quitclaim it to my son after the sale goes thru ? Any suggestions appreciated.
