I live in NJ and my husband has just been diagnosed with Alzheimers Disease at 54 yrs. old. He is now permanently disabled. Our house is in both of our names. Should it be transferred in my name only? and how would I do that? I have Power of Attorney. I do know that some day he will need to be in a facility for 24 hr. care.
Hi gaylegaynor,
You can transfer the house in your name by asking your husband to sign a quitclaim deed in your favor. But you should note that if the property is transferred only in your name, then your husband may not get medicaid facilities provided if there is no other property in his name.
Thanks.
