What form is needed to remove his name from the title and add a daughter with the wife. The same for the car title. Also where there was no will and beneficiary was not found at his bank, what doc is available in texas other than death cert and marriage license to prove I am the entitled to the very small sums left in bank accounts--less than $100.

Hi Guest,

Is the wife listed on the title along with the husband as joint tenants? Is there any right of survivorship clause on the title? If there is a right of survivorship clause, the title is directly transferred to the wife after the husband's death. In that case, filing the death certificate with the county recorders office will be enough to have the title in the wife's name. Then, the daughter's name could be added through a quitclaim deed.

But if there is no right of survivorship clause mentioned in the title, the wife needs to file an affidavit of heirship with probate court to have the title in her name. I think the marriage license and the death certificate should be enough for the wife to claim her interest in the money left in the bank account.

I have bought a home equally with significant other, Do we need legal documents stating that if one were to die it would pass on. In closing we are asking to put it as jointsurvialship. I live in Washington, a community state, Should I seek legal council before closing on the house?

Hi janthingvold,

You and your significant other should sign a quit claim deed wherein the ownership has to be "joint tenancy with rights of survivorship." Thus, in case of the death of anyone of you, the other would get the property. You can definitely take the help of an attorney in this regard.

Hi Walton,

You can ask your boyfriend to sign a quit claim deed and transfer the property to you. Once he does so, you would become the sole owner of the property and he won't have any claims over it.

My wife and I have been married 20 years and it is our second marriage. I have two grown daughters from my first marrage. My wife and I own our home and both ofour names areon the title. My wife seems to think if I die that my daughters are entitled to a portion of our home. I thought the home would automatically be her home100%. The home paid off.

Thank You,



C

Hi Charles,

Your daughters from the first marriage are also the heirs to the property and they can claim their heirship after you're gone. If you wish that your wife should inherit the property, you can draft a will and declare her as the beneficiary.

Thanks
