You may have a problem. You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law who can review the deed under your state laws and determine if there needs to be any corrective work done.

In Colorado what happens to your home if you die and your spouse is an owner by a Quitclaim Deed but is not named on the General Warranty Deed?

Assuming that one party acquired the land by virtue of a warranty deed and then conveyed it to himself or herself and spouse by a quitclaim deed, that would be effective as long as the deed was drafted properly. You need to check the tenancy created in the most recent deed. If it is a joint tenancy and one owner dies the survivor owns the property automatically. Deeds should always be drafted by a professional. Errors made by non-professionals can be costly to correct if they can be corrected.

You divorced- signed a quit deed and still remained on the mortgage. What happens when the ex-spouse dies?

How much will it cost you to remove spouse from mortgage?

A quit claim deed will be rather inexpensive. However, the spouse can require payment to sign the agreement.

Do you have to sign the quitclaim deed to protect yourself in case the spouse dies?

It is uncertain why the person would believe a quitclaim would protect marital property upon the death of one spouse. Most married couples hold property as Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship or as Tenancy By the Entirety in states that allow that type of property titling. Both types allow real property to pass directly to the surviving spouse without probate action. Property that is still under a mortgage contract must be refinanced with the lender or kept up according to terms of the original lending contract if the contract was held jointly by the married couple at the time of death OS the spouse.
