Hi terry.

Welcome to the forum. You can use a quitclaim deed or Interspousal Transfer deed to add you wife on the deed. BTW is it a mortgaged property?

Best of luck,
Larry

No, free and clear (Michigan) Just purchased the property before we got married, then built the house also before we were married. We are in the proccess of doing our wills, and or trusts. Hantz Group in Michigan is handling it. Getting a trust quote is $1600 to do it all. Sound about right price? Thanks for the info! Terry

Hi Terry,

In your situation, using an interspousal deed will be better than a quitclaim. Such a deed is specially meant for property transfer between spouses.

Know more on why interspousal deed is better than quitclaim .

Thanks

Hi terry,

It's sad to hear of your mother's illness. Let's hope she'll recover in a short time.

Coming to your query, the state doesn't go for Medicaid Estate Recovery until the recipient passes away. Know more on the steps taken by Medicaid in order to retrieve the money they've provided.

Good luck

Hi Gladys Nkuna,

If you want to give away your RDP property to another person, you can use a quitclaim deed. You can consult an attorney who will help you in drafting the deed.

Thanks

My mom passed away in Texas. She has a house and I would like to get it in my name. What would I need to do?

Hi Stacey,

You need to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and remove your mother's name from the deed. Once the affidavit is filed, property comes into your name.

good luck

Texas and most other states no longer accept a quit claim. Meaning, you can self file at the courthouse, but if you ever go to sell the property, the title company will not accept the quit claim and revert back to the original deed, which you wanted to avoid in the first place. Better method would be to have a special warranty deed to transfer the property.

Welcome louise,

You will have to refinance the mortgage in your name in order to remove your partner's name from the mortgage doc.
