General Warranty Deed

Posted on: 25th Aug, 2010 09:20 pm
My husband states that when his father passed away he and his brother had to sign to give the house to their mother. Does this mean that both brothers names were listed on the deed to the house? I have a general warranty deed on a house with myself and my husband only listed as grantee. He has three kids and five grandchildren. In the case of a house with general warranty deed and only myself and he are listed as grantee he claims that we need to make a will because his kids will be entitled to the house if he passes. Can you let me know if it is specified on the general warranty deed that he and I are the only ones listed as grantees can anybody who is a relative fight for the property?
Hi Dutchess!

Welcome to forums!

If you and your husband are listed on the warranty deed, then both of you are the owners of the property. No one else can claim the property. After both of you are deceased, your heirs will be able to claim the property.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Nobody can come after your property as you are listed on the warranty deed.But still you are advised to get a 'will' done and get it registered so that you will be double-proofing the property and it will go to only those to whom you are willing to transfer it.
