ok, this is a long question, my grandfather who passed over a year ago willed his home to my father and my aunt. my aunt has already quit claimed her half interest to me and my father wants to do the same because he does not have the credit to refinance the house which has a mortgage against it that is still in my grandfathers name. however, my father has an estranged wife whom we haven't seen in over 3 years, so is there away around her signing away her dower rights on the quit claim?? and if my father is unable to acquire refinancing for the mortgage that is still in my grandfather's name can the bank call the loan and potentially remove his name from the deed??

I sell real estate and have a client who is trying to purchase a property in Ohio. He is in the process of a divorce which was to have been completed, but the attorney got sick and his next court date is August. He wants to close this money because he is eligible to stimulus money. The title company told him his wife needs to release dower rights and she will not do so. He is going to see if she will do it for money.
My question. Can't he buy the property without her signing anything. He understands she will have dower right but when the divorce is settled he can pay her 1/2 of his equity. He is doing an FHA loan and will have little equity so tI thought this would be a good option. Let me know if he can proceed with the purchase without her signature. Thanks.

Hi tb,
As the divorce is not complete, the wife can claim dower rights on the property which your client purchases. Thus, unless the wife signs the dower rights away, she can claim ownership in that property. Your client should check out whether or not she signs away the dower rights for money.

My husband purchased a mobile home during our marriage and put the title in my name. Later he asked me to transfer the title over into his name, which I did. I moved out of the home 7 months ago over mental abuse. He has given his daughter Power of Attorney. We are still married (no legal separation & no courts involved) just living separately. What happens to my Dowers Rights should he expire?
Welcome Charlene,
As you've already signed a quit claim deed and transferred the property to your husband, I guess you've lost your dower rights to that property. You should contact an attorney and take his opinion in this matter. He will guide you further in this regard.

Is signing the title of the mobile home over to my husband in front of a notary and my husband sending the title to the title company and the title company stamped "transferred" on the front of the original title still considered a quit claim deed since we are separated, but still married? And, what happens to the mobile home (we do not own the land it sets on) if we decide to divorce later?
Hi Charlene!
Welcome to forums!
Whether it is a warranty deed or a quit claim deed will be mentioned at the top of the deed form which you used to transfer the property to your husband. As you've transferred the property, you don't have any ownership rights to it and cannot claim it in case of a divorce.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

I'm married going through a divorce. Our home is only in my husband's name and owed the home 1 year prior to our marriage. What are my rights concerning the property.
Hi Elaine,
If your name is not mentioned on the property deed, then you won't have any rights to the property. You'll not be considered as an owner of the property.
Thanks.

Hi stewing,
If the property has been already sold off by the in-laws, then your mother-in-law cannot claim dower rights in that property. You can move into that property.

I signed over our property to my wife 8 years ago due to health. She didnt record the deed right away. Shortly after she recorded it I had a judgement against me in another state for a business matter that didnt involve her. Can they attach her property under the dower rights law. I am pretty sure I signed a Quit Claim but recently I had to sign off on her reverse mortgage they said because of the dower rights law in Ohio
