I have a house in my name only, but I want to get married. I live in Florida. Will he become part owner automatically? If I die first, will the house go to my kids or my husband?
Hi smhogan!
Welcome to forums!
Your husband will become co-owner of the property only if you sign a quit claim deed form and add him to the deed. He cannot automatically become the owner of the property. If you die first, then your husband as well as your kids would be considered as the heirs to the property. Thus, your property will go to both of them.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

If Florida is a community property state, your husband will own 1/2 of any community property used to increase the value of the property during marriage ie mortgage principal reduction, etc. If you die, the property will pass according to your will, or your state's laws of intestate succession. In most states, the spouse is the heir.
I recently got married and I owned a condo which we live in. If I die does it automatically go to my new husband. I have a will and I am not leaving him the property or anything else for that matter.
Hi Maria,
As you have a will, after your death, the will have to be probated by the beneficiary in order to claim the property. It won't go to your husband.
Thanks

Your property would only go to him if it is in your will or if you fill in the Quatclaim deed as mentioned by the above poster.
