My husband & I were going to be divorced in 2006 in Ohio & he took out a morgage on our home. He had me sign a quick claim deed. As it happened we got things straighened out & are still together for 30 years now. Should he pass , do I have any ownership in our home?
it depends on the laws of your state, but if you are not in community property state, and he does not leave a valid will and trust to avoid probate, you may be left with nothing. you can easily be added back to title with another quit claim deed as long as husband agrees to add you on title. there are different ways of holding title, joint tenants or community property with right of surviorship, would make you sole owner if he would pass.
