Wants Off the Title

  I currently have a mortgage loan with my sister, and both of our names are on the title. Is there any way for me to take my name off the title without her having to refinance or sell the house?
 
  It's easy for your sister to become sole owner of the property.  The two of you sign a new deed naming her as the only owner. 
But that won't let you out of responsibility for the mortgage, which is a different matter entirely.
