I have been married 9 years in the state of Minnesota. My husband inherited a lake home from his mother prior to our marriage. My name is not listed on the deed, taxes or mortgage. He wants to quit claim the deed to his son, my stepson. I'm afraid he'll do it without my consent. Do I have any legal rights to contest the deed without my signature.
Welcome DMKCASI,
As the property was inherited by your husband prior to your marriage and as your name is not mentioned on the deed, then you won't be able to claim any rights over that property. Thus, your husband can transfer the property to your step son without your consent. As the property has been transferred to your step son, he will be considered as the owner of the property.
