Hi
I was wondering if anyone can inform me on this subject. I purchased a house in the US when i resided in Australia. My fiance at the time said was best to put his name on it (he being a US citizen) to halt any legalities, so we did. We then got married and after that we did a quit claim deed in the state of Ohio, to remove his name off of the deed. He signed where it says releases all rights and dower therein.
The original deed was a survivorship deed, which i am not happy about, as it was my savings that bought the house. Now my question is...if he released all rights and dower there in am i able to get a new deed for the house with only my name on it, and can i nominate who the house will go to if i die?
I have a daughter living back in austrtalia and would like her to have a form of investment

your confusion is understandable, but your worry about the survivorship portion of the original deed isn't necessary. if properly completed and recorded, that quit claim deed would have relinquished all rights that your husband had to the property, and you would be the sole owner as a result. that, of course, would allow you to render any inheritance to your daughter through your estate.

it's worth your trouble to engage legal counsel in this to assure yourself that all is well with the title to the property and that you'll not find any pitfalls in your plans for the future.

thank you for your response. So does this mean even tho we are still married and if i was to pass away first, if i declare in my will that i want the house left to my daughter he cannot contest what i have in my will?

i can't comment on someone's ability to contest a will - have no experience in that area. but a will is a will, isn't it? if you're having it completed with legal assistance, then your queries will be best answered in the law office rather than here.
