whom it may concern,

My mother and her boyfriend currently own a house together. He was involved in a drunk driving accident a couple months back and has since lost his job. He is drinking everyday, and has cause horrible problems within our family. My mom would like him to move out but he wants to sell the house.

Is there anything we can do to remove him from the deed?

If he signs a quitclaim deed which will release his entire, right, title, and interest in the property to your mother, he won't have any further rights to the property.  
The quitclaim deed is signed in the presence of a notary.  It becomes effective upon being recorded (filed with the County Recorder's office).
