My husband and I married 5 years ago. We both had our own homes. We refinanced my home and paid off the $33000 balance on his home. When we refinanced, his name was added to my home. We have a will that states that everything will go to me in the case of death, but the deed to the home is still in his name only. If something happens to him, does the house that we paid off automatically come to me without any legal complications? He also has 2 grown children.
Hi pooleaa,
If the will mentions that all your husband's assets will go to you on his death, then you will become the owner of the property after his death. However, you will have to probate the will and get the property transferred in your name after his death.
Thanks
