I want to set up a trust where my two children (from previous marriages) inherit the house my wife and I live in. She has agreed to sign a quitclaim deed to relinguish her marital claim to the house (she has separate assets to leave to her daughter). Will this hold up in Kansas in the event of my death before the house is sold?

Hi LGWilson!

Welcome to forums!

If you have a will and a property deed mentioning the same, then it will definitely hold up in Kansas. You can even contact a real estate attorney and check out his suggestions in this matter.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

I can't conceive of a reason why a valid quit claim deed wouldn't continue to be valid in the event of your passing. Of course, you don't have one at this juncture, until such time as your wife actually transfers her interest in the home.

Once you're the sole owner, your will is going to determine how the property is passed along upon death.

Then again, as Sussane also noted...check with your attorney. This is a legal matter and needs a legal opinion.
