Welcome Carly,

I guess you were into some kind of co-ownership agreement with your husband. However, by signing the interspousal deed, you have given up your rights on the property to your husband. As such you can no longer retain the ownership rights.

Hi Carly,

You may be a tenant on the property but if you have signed over the interspousal deed to your husband, then your husband will be the sole owner of the property.

Thanks,

Sara

If i quitclaim my property to my common-law husband - am I still obligated to pay my share of the joint mortgage, or does he now have the resposibility to do this?

Hi Anne,

You're obligated to make the mortgage payments as long as you are on the loan. Your name will not be removed from the loan if you quitclaim your share of the property. So, you're responsible to repay the loan even after you sign the quitclaim deed. You can be relieved from the responsibility of repaying the mortgage if someone refinances the loan and takes your name off it.
Cant wait.

If my ex wife signs an interspousal transfer deed over to me, as opposed to quitclaim, is my ex wife entitled to equity in the home on a future sale. Property is in California, the home is currently upside down by as much as $150k right now. She does not want to sign a Quit claim deed, why?? Im thinking she would be entitled to some sort of financial gain by ISTD.

Hi Cant wait,

I don't think it makes much of a difference if your ex-wife signs a quit claim deed of an interspousal deed. Both the deeds transfer ownership rights from one individual to another. When your ex-wife signs the interspousal deed, she gives up all her ownership rights. The property will not be considered as a joint asset. Thus, whether she signs a quitclaim deed or an interspousal deed, she will not be entitled to any financial gain when you sell off the property.

To ticktock,

When you add your husband to the property title, he will have equal ownership rights to the property. Thus, if the house is sold, you will be entitled to the half of the sales proceeds. The remaining half of the proceeds will go to your husband. However, since he will not be the sole owner of the property, he needs your consent before he can sell the property. But why do you need to add your husband while you are in the middle of a separation?

Hi Pat,

The property is in your name. When your husband signed the interspousal grant deed, he gave up all his ownership rights to the house. Thus, when you get divorce he will not be entitled to any rights to the property and it will be considered as your separate property.

The property was in your mother-in-law's name. She had drafted a will and given the property to your husband. Thus, your husband will have to probate the property and get it transferred in his name. Your mother-in-law's husband will not be able to claim the property.

Hi cha!

Welcome to forums!

No one can force you to sign any property deed and ask you transfer your property rights. If any one does so, then it will be considered as illegal and you can take that person to court.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
