We bought a house 10 years ago & only my husbands name is on the deed. He now has Dementia & I have power of attorney. How do I get my name on the deed to protect myself in case something should happen to him? _________________ Need help choosing the right loan? Get free consultation from community lenders/consultant

As you have the power of attorney on behalf of your husband, you can sign a quitclaim deed and add your name to the property deed. You should contact a real estate attorney and he will guide you regarding the whole process. Feel free to ask if you've further queries. Sussane

You don't need to do something that you ought not do, so you need the advice of someone whose expertise is in that area. _________________ George M.
