Deed for Contract and short sale

[Vaunda Davis]

I have a property scenario that I need help with. The details are that a couple bought a house with the loan only in the husband's name. The loan is a VA loan. The husband signed a Quit Claim deed before he passed away to his wife. The wife filed the Quit Claim Deed with the county. She now wants to walk away from the property. I know that we could take over the deed by having her Quit Claim it to us. What I don't know is how we deal with the bank. She's tried talking to them and they won't talk to her. I would love some advice on how to make this work. We would like to do a short sale and then sell it but, could be convinced to rent it out. House is only 4 years old.
