Welcome! My goal is to do my very best to understand your situation and to provide a full and complete answer for you.

Good morning. There are two concepts here....i) ownership of the property; and ii) liability of the mortgage which is a lien on the property. They are separate and distinct. By signing a release of liability concerning the mortgage, that relates only to the mortgage and the loan it secures. It does not impact your titled interest in the property. Only if you sign a deed giving up your ownership interest in the property do you give up your right to proceeds from a sale. Otherwise, upon sale, the loan will be paid in full, and any remaining proceeds will be divided among the owners.

Just make sure you are not signing any kind of a deed. Otherwise, you retain your ownership and your right to proceeds. The only thing you want to do is to get a release from the mortgage company. You should not be releasing anyone; you should be getting a release.

Yes...you want released from both the mortgage company and your ex. Otherwise, you run the risk of your ex pursuing you even though the mortgage company is not.
