Hello , I'll try to make this short. My wife bought the house next to her parents while we were dating. I tore most of it down and built a very big house by myself while she was pregnant--my wife funded most of this money thru loans which we both pay now - I probably did over a 100,000 in labor. I felt like i was entitled to something for security after we were married so i dont end up that guy. After marriage 2 yrs ago and me nagging about this --she has her lawyer do some kind of paper and im pretty sure it was a life estate deed --she showed me a copy which i didnt understand and that was it. I believe it said - so im told - i can live there till death and i get the house if god forbid she dies but i cant ever throw my kids out ? Like i would. Crazy Italian family. I never got to sign anything. I happen to look up another deed im on with my family and looked up hers and the deed was never filed? Would a life estate deed be in the registry of deeds --its been a few months. Is this the right deed to be on --can i be kicked to the curb --not that its going to happen --but you never know. I just want to be protected the right way --i feel im entitled to 50% even though i 'd never get it --im not on the mortgage either --its the original. thank you

Hi enys!

Welcome to forums!

I think your wife has signed a quitclaim deed wherein she has given you a life estate which means you will have the right to live in the property until death. However, the deed needs to be notarized and recorded at the county recorder's office. Once its recorded, your rights will be secured.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

Sussane.

Ditto. You may also want to see if your state is a dower state. If it is you are entitled to 1/2 of the marital assets including real estate upon seperation.
