I am asking this question for a friend?

Her husband dying:

1. Should she take her husband's name off the deed and transfer their home into her name only?

2. Should she retitle the automible and put it in her name?

Hi Eddie,

Your query is not clear to me. It would be better if you could explain your query in details.

Thanks

Hi minerva,

Texas is a community property state. As your name is mentioned on the property deed, you would be able to claim the property upon your husband's death. In case of a divorce, you can even claim a share from the equity in the property.

Before My wife passed we bought a house with my G.I. bill. She had me get a quit claim deed when she went to remodel the house. We re-financed and now she has passed away. What rights do

Hi Harry,

If your name is mentioned on the property deed, then you will be considered as one of the owners of the property and you can stay in the property. However, if your name is not mentioned on the property deed, then you'll have to contact the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in your name. Once the property is transferred in your name, then you'll be able to stay in the property. You can even refinance the mortgage in your name and pay off the dues on time.

Take care.
