Transfer deed after death – Is it possible to do so?

Posted on: 19th Nov, 2008 10:49 pm
hi! If my boyfriend gives his son a quit-claim deed to file after my boyfriend dies so that the home my boyfriend owns that we live in will be transferred to me, will that be sufficient for me to legally have ownership? I am not now named on the deed or mortgage. What if the son doesn't file the quit-claim deed? There is no mention of me in my boyfriend's will, nor is there mention of the property in question. It seems to me that my boyfriend has made me dependent upon the future whim of his son.
Welcome Pat,

If the property is already quitclaimed to the wife, then the surviving brother of the deceased husband won't be able to lay his claims on the property.

The deed to my father's house in Maryland is in his and my mother's name. She passed a while ago and he passed recently. Since theirs are the only names on the deed, what happens to the house? My brothers and I would like the house to go to one of our brothers/

Hi Tarheel,

The brother, who wants the house, should file an affidavit of heirship in this regard and get the property transferred in his name. But while doing so, you and your other siblings should provide him with a no objection certificate in this regard.

Thanks

My husbands dad has past away last year April. We have been living in the home since then. We've heard stories from the girlfriend that the home is paid for; other than the tax bills we've received and payed recently. How can we get this property quick claimed or warrantied that no one can come in and put us out? We live in illinois

Welcome ann,

Unless the property is transferred in your name, you won't be considered as the owner of that property. In such a situation, if you die, your will won't hold any value as you were not the owner of the property. It will be better if you could record the quitclaim deed immediately.
