it is our first house. Because i had a bad credit 6 years ago i signed the quit claim form to give up the property.

now we try to add my name back to the property by quit claim form.
then do we still have the house as a community property or can my husband add others by quit claim without my consent even if i am added on the title?

Hi bjm!

Welcome to forums!

Once you are added to the title of the property, you will have similar rights to it as your husband. If the mortgage dues are paid by joint efforts (you and your husband), then the property will considered as a community property. As far as I know, he will have to take your consent before adding someone to the deed.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

thanks so much for the answer. but just to be sure is there a better assured way to add as a community owner other than quit claim?

Hi bjm!

As far as I know, a quitclaim deed is a reliable means to add your name to the property. You can use that and be a part of the property.

Thanks,

Jerry

A community property interest is created by law. There is nothing you have to do. If you want, prepare a Grant Deed from your husband, as grantor, to you and your husband as husband and wife, as grantee. You then each own an undivided 1/2 interest, that cannot be transferred by any spouse alone, only together.
