My husband purchased a home prior to us getting married. He has one daughter. Now that we are married, what would happen to the home in the State of Texas if he passed away? What can I do to ensure that I can remain in the home?

Thanks!

Rachelesposito,

You and your husband can make a new deed to hold title as joint tenants for the house. Joint tenancy means that after death of one of the joint tenants other joint tenant automatically becomes the new owner of the house.

If your husband wants his daughter to be on the house title then she can be included in the deed as joint tenant along with both of you. This way if in case your husband passes away you and his daughter will become the new joint tenants.

Hi Rachelesposito,

If your husband prepares a will referring you as beneficiary to the property, you will receive rights on the estate upon his death.
You can also add yourself to the property either through a quitclaim deed or a grant deed. But for a grant deed, you should remember, that there must not be any lien in the property.
Otherwise, you may go for joint tenancy as said by Miller.

My wife passed in October. She / We had no children, or will, under community property the house should come to me. What documents do i file with the county to correct the title. The Clerks office said there are only a couple of forms. but wount tell which ones. I want to avoid the cost of an attorney.

Hi Guest,

You will have to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office in order to transfer the property in your name.
