DIVORCE ISSUE

Posted on: 06th Nov, 2007 04:50 pm
i was already married, when purchased a house, and my x-spouse did not sign any papers, and i had signed the deed as a single woman. however, when i refinanced, my x-spouse signed quit claim deed.
since i am going trough a divorce, it is our main topic for an argument. he claims this property is community, and i claim it that he has no rights on it, since i have quit claim deed. please advise.

Hi,

As far as I know, if a quit claim has been signed, notarized and recorded in the county office, it is valid and transfers the grantor's interest in the property including the community property interest.

In your case, I don't think your husband has any more interest in the property if the quit claim is valid.

Hi,

You are right. If your husband signs a quitclaim deed and transfers his share of interest to you, then he does not have any right on the property unless he has a life estate on the quitclaim deed. So I would like to know if your x- spouse has life estate on it?

Thanks,
Larry
