My husband bought the home we live in before we were married. It is still mortgaged. When he refinanced I signed off indicating the home is his sole owned property. If he were to die before me would I as his wife inherit the property? I have lived in our home for over 10 years.
We also own addtl rental property we purchased after we were married.

Hi Wifey,
As you are his wife, you will have to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office in order to transfer the property in your name. This will help you in transferring the home in your name. Apart from this, your husband can draft a will and declare you as the beneficiary of the will. This will also help you in getting the property after his death.
Thanks
