I purchased this propery in 1982 after my husband died. The property is in my name alone and no mortgage or leins on the property. I have 2 adult children. I remarried in 1994 and my present husband wants his name on the deed, of which I said NO that this was purchased prior to our marriage. I want to protect the property for my 2 children after I die. We have other property which was purchased after 1994, this property is only in mine and my husbands name. I have no will or any other directives at this time (I'm 74) Is a quit claim or warranty deed the best way to go? How can I be sure that after I die that my kids will get my part of the property purchased after 1994, he will not consent to a will or putting their names on the property which is also free from debt. Thanks for your help.
Hi elaineb,
You can sign a quitclaim deed in your children's favor. This will transfer the property to them immediately once the deed is notarized and filed. Alternatively, you can draft a will and declare them to be the heirs to your property. Thus, they would receive the property after your death once the probate is complete.

Thanks, I'm giving the quitclaim deed more thought. Thanks
