i would like to know how this will affect me. i came over to usa from australia and bought a house in ohio 2007, the house was put in my name and my then fiances name, in april 2008 i came back and we married in may 2009. we went to the titles office and did a quit claim deed and he transferred all his dowers rights back to me. i was wondering when i make my will out can i leave the house solely to my daughter who lives back in australia, as i was the only person who put any money into this house to purchase it. i feel it should be left to her as i am her mother and was my cash that paid for the house. also after we did the quit claim deed does that make the survivor ship deed null and void. any assistance you can give me is greatly appreciated.
Hi bringit!
Welcome to forums!
If the property is presently in your name solely, then you will be able to leave all your property to your daughter. You won't have to leave the property to your husband. It will be your discretion what you will do in regards to your property.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

I was unsure of the laws in Ohio i was told even tho it was in my name he was still entitled to 1/3 Will i have to a get a new deed the old one was survivor ship deed.
It will be better if you could contact a real estate attorney in this regard.
