Do I lose my right to the house if I sign interspousal deed?

I quitclaim my house to my husband. He got sick and eventually died. My husband did not have a will. We live in Ohio and have a 15 yr son. Am I entitled to the house now that my husband is dead.

Welcome Mardell,

You and your son will be considered as heirs to the property. Thus, you will be able to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office in order to transfer the property in your name.

My soon to be ex husband signed a grant deed over to me about 4yrs ago and now during our divorce he's asking for 50% of the homes equity/proceeds. Is he entitled to it?

Welcome LUCY,

If your ex-husband's name is not mentioned on the property deed, then he won't be able to claim any interest in that property.

the court papers gave me the house during a divorce. My ex-husband was sent a inter-spousal deed of trust to sign, if he refuses to sign it what rights do I have? The court papers say its mine.....

Hi jgutierrez,

If the court has given you the divorce decree mentioning that the property is yours, then your ex-husband is legally bound to sign the docs. If he does not do so, then you can take legal actions against them.

Thanks

my husband maybe going to court for past due child support arreages can he sigh over the deed to a relative or myself giving up all his rights to the house that we have both purchased and are both on the loan

Hi doris!

Welcome to forums!

If a case has been already filed against your husband, then it won't be a good move to transfer the property to you or someone else. This may be considered as a fraudulent move by the court and the court can take actions against you.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Do not take advice given here about California when they are not even from the state or an attorney!

Things are different in this state: it may be in your separate name but under CA community property laws any property bought under the duration of marriage is to be split equally. It would be different if you bought the house before the marriage, but during means the spouse has 50% rights to it, regardless of name on the title.

I have a rare circumstance that has come upon me. My ex-husband and I built a house in 2002 and have a loan in both of our names. We are now divorced and he is currently incarcerated for 10+ years. The home is in foreclosure and I have been trying to get a loan modification but loan company says I need a quick claim deed. Can a court award me the home and a quick claim deed through the courts and can all this be done without his signature?

Hi Guest,

The court can award you the home. But your husband needs to sign a quitclaim deed in your favor in order to transfer the property to you. You should have a word with a real estate attorney in this regard and try to sort out the matter.

Thanks

hi,

should a divorce happens what will happen to a spouse who signs a quit claim deed in wa state? will the equity be spilt 50-50?

thanks

Welcome Guest,

The spouse who signs the quitclaim deed can claim his/her share of the equity in the property from the other spouse.

Is a deed transferred to a spouse as a trust medicaid eligible

Hi Linda,

If your property is in a trust, then the Medicaid won't be able to place a lien on the property.

Thanks
