Like 0 Dislike 0 I have a house in my name only, but I want to get married. I live in Florida. Will he become part owner automatically? If I die first, will the house go to my kids or my husband?

Your husband will become co-owner of the property only if you sign a quit claim deed form and add him to the deed. He cannot automatically become the owner of the property. If you die first, then your husband as well as your kids would be considered as the heirs to the property. Thus, your property will go to both of them. Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

In most states, the spouse is the heir. _________________ Disclaimer: This is not legal advice and I am not your lawyer.

If I die does it automatically go to my new husband. I have a will and I am not leaving him the property or anything else for that matter.

It won't go to your husband. Thanks
