My husband and I purchase our home in Florida. The mortgage is in my name only. If my husband quit claims the property to me, does he give up all legal rights to the property? Would I need his signature if and when I sold the property? If we divorced at a later time, can he claims rights to the home (equity,etc.) at that time?? I need your help.
Hello Alexis.
Welcome to the forum.
You need not have your husband's signature when you will sell the property as he has already quitclaimed the property to you. So you are the only owner now and can sell the property. Is it a mortgaged property? Who is on the mortgage?

I would contact an attorney on this as the deed will probably need specific verbiage citing your husbands intent to relinquish homestead rights and any right to a share of the equity now & in the future.
