transferred interest

Posted on: 24th Jun, 2007 09:51 pm
i signed a quit claim deed [2] years into my marriage. now we are getting divorced and my husband wants me to sale my house and give him 1/2 the profits. when i signed the quit claim deed, i typed a clause on it stating the deed was not transfering interest, it was for the prepose of homestead only. is this legal and is he intitled to my house i purchased before i married him?
Hello Denise,


Normally, when you are signing a quit claim deed, you are basically transferring your interest in that property to another individual. So, I do feel that you should have your quit claim deed first checked by an attorney before you go for any legal procedures.

Hi Denise,

Welcome to the forums.

So, you mean that you signed the deed stating that it would just transfer the homestead rights. Well, I don't think it is illegal because the deed just mentions that your rights on property are transferred - whether it is the ownership rights or homestead rights.

Hello Mtilda,

Homestead has been defined in three different contexts under Florida law:

1. Exemption from forced sale before and at death per Art. X, Section 4(a)-(b)
of the Florida Constitution,
2.Restrictions on devise and alienation, Art. X, Section 4(c) of the Florida
Constitution
3. Exemption from taxation per Art. VII, Section 6 of the Florida Constitution.

"I signed a quit claim deed [2] years into my marriage. Now we are getting divorced and my husband wants me to sale my house and give him 1/2 the profits. "

Denise was the quit claim deed made to transfer complete interest you had on the house or was it to include him as a co-owner of the house?
