Welcome Guest,

You need to check out the property deed first in order to know whether or not you are the sole owner of the property. If you are the sole owner of the property, then you would be able to transfer the property to your daughter and your husband will not be able to receive any share from it.

Hi Guest,

I would suggest you to contact a real estate attorney and take his opinion in this matter. He would be able to guide you in a proper way so that your daughter becomes the sole owner of the property.

Thanks

I will have to i guess i just assumed that once the quit claim deed was put solely in my name that it would void out the existing survivorship deed but who would know in the state of ohio

Hi Guest!

Welcome to forums!

If a new deed has been filed transferring the property ownership to you, then you would become the owner of the property and the earlier deed will be considered as null and void. You can speak to a real estate attorney based in Ohio and he would be able to give you further advice on this issue.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
