Will quick claim protect my home from creditors?

Posted on: 16th May, 2006 02:37 pm
My husband and I are both on the title of our home. My husband is the only one on the mortage loan. I have several unsecured debts in my name only that I'm trying to set up payment plans with because I'm behind. I want to be proactive, in case one of the creditors decides not to work with me and trys to put a lien on our home. The are no liens on the home at this time. I'm willing to sign a quickclaim deed. Will this protect my home from the creditors if I sign and will this take my name off of the title? Does my husband have to know I signed a quickclaim deed? He does not know about the debts and I want to get them paid off, but it is going to take me time. Thanks
That's not a problem JN, your mother can quit claim her part of property to you. Your father will have no right to your interest in property.

Thanks,
James.

Hello,
My Mother owns her home, and has recently been diagnosed with altzheimers. I would like to have her home quitclaim deeded to me and my 3 brothers, in doing this and she need to go into a nursing home in the future would her home be protected, and we would not have to sell it to pay the nursing home?
Also what id the time frame # of years that the home needs to be in our names before the nursing home cannot come after it?
If she lives in her home after it is deeded to us would she still be able to pay the utilities and taxes on it?

Thank You

" I would like to have her home quitclaim deeded to me and my 3 brothers, in doing this and she need to go into a nursing home in the future would her home be protected,"
After the home is quit claimed in your name it will become your property and you will not have to sell it to pay for the medical expenses.

It will be ok if you quit claim the property. Since you will be the owner after quit claim, it will be your responsibility to pay the taxes and utilities.

hi donna,

welcome to mortgagefit forum.

after your dad transfers property to you using a quit claim deed, it will be yours only and others will not have any rights on it.

as soon the recording of the deed completes, you will be the owner and it will remain the same even after your father's death.

No Donna, she will not have any right over property after it is quit claimed to you by your father.

After going through this page if you have any doubts then feel free to ask.

My husband and I are considering making a quit claim deed on our home with our two daughters as grantees. Should either my husband or I have to go into a nursing home, could the nursing home put a lien on our home?

Hi Betty,

Have you applied for any Medicaid and not being able to make the expenses towards it? In that case, the Medicaid may place a lien on the house. But it will not affect the ownership of the property. You can pay off the lien at the time of selling the home.
For more information on this, you may refer to: http://www.mortgagefit.com/propertytransfer/medicaidpayment.html

My husband and I have filed for a divorce. Although the house is in his name only, we have lived there together for the last 7 yrs. I just found out that he filed a Quit Claim Deed about 3 days ago. Our mediation starts next week. Can he do this and how can this effect our settlement?

Hi Joanna,

You have mentioned that your husband has filed a quitclaim deed 3 days back. Now, when he is sole owner to the house, he has full right to do anything with the house as he wishes. But have you found out to whom did he quitclaimed?

And when you said that the quitclaim will affect your settlement, what do you exactly mean by this? Please explain so that I can help you to solve your problem.

Hi Joanna,

After filing divorce, if your husband does a quitclaim, it will not affect your divorce settlement in any way. Only if you have an agreement signed with the divorce decree by which you will be getting a part of the property after the divorce, then his doing the quitclaim will surely affect the settlement and you may have a claim to the property. Otherwise, it will have no impact on your divorce settlement.
