My parents have two properties, one in Fl and one in Ga. They quitclaimed the Ga property(including a home) to me (my name only) and I would like to know if my husband would be entitled to any of the property in the event of a divorce?
I have over 15 years experience in real estate and mortgage lending and can't answer your question. Best answer- contact an attorney. They will also want more information because it depends on when you got the property, before or after you were married, how long have you been married, and what state you are in- each has different common law/cohabitation laws.
I just worked on a website for an Indiana family lawyer "www.buckduchon.com" and you can contact him or if you're not in Indiana find a local attorney that specializes in family law.

thank you for your advice
Hi Rockyskids,
I agree with James, that it is best to consult an atty...but I wanted to add that I live in Georgia, and know it to be a common law state, meaning that by marriage you gain half interest in any property held in the marriage...so ...again, consult an atty with knowledge of the laws in the two states the properties are listed in.
Good luck,
Kim

Hello Rockyskids,
Even I agree with Kim but I think, property acquired prior to marriage or property acquired by gift or inheritance even during marriage is excluded.
It is better to consult an attorney regarding this.

I hope this works out for your benefit, since your parents put it just in your name. Goodluck with this, hope it works out in your favor.
