It depends on the state and his will, if he gives everything to you in his will, or at least the house, then you have no issue at all, but if there are children from a previous relationship and the husband has no will, you might have to buy them out or sell the place if they inherit under the state laws of intestacy. Check with your local laws and make sure you and your husband have wills.

Can estranged husband claim on intestate if his name is still on house deeds?
An estranged husband is married and he has all the rights of a surviving spouse if his wife dies. He will inherit an intestate estate according to the laws in the jurisdiction. He will become the sole owner of any property owned by survivorship with his wife if she dies.
Can my house be repossessed if my husband is madebankrupt but is not on the deeds?
Your husband's name is not on the deed, but is he on the loan? If yes, then it cannot be foreclosed and repossessed if the property is listed on his bankruptcy filing, and, as long as his bankruptcy payments are current. If he defaults on bankruptcy payments, then you can lose the property. If he is not on the loan, then your house can be foreclosed and repossessed.

What happens if a couple divorce and husband's name is not on mortgage documents or deeds?
If the property was purchased in a community property state during the marriage and the husband did not waive his rights, he may have ownership rights to the property. If not, then he may not have an ownership interest in the home. Either way, he does NOT have financial responsibility for the mortgage debt unless otherwise ordered by a court. It is possible for someone to have ownership rights to a home and no legal liability for its financial encumbrances.
Can deeds be transferred in wife's name as husband has gone away?
No. You need to check with an attorney if the property is in the husband's name or owned jointly. Either he must sign the deed or if he is "of parts unknown" his title must pass by virtue of a court decree. If he is away in military service or other employment then his wife must have a power of attorney in order to sign his name to the deed.

What do you need to know about selling tenancy by entirety property?
In most states that allow ownership by married couples an tenants by the entirety both parties must sign in order to sell or mortgage the property. However, in certain states a deed from one tenant by the entirety can create a complicated legal arrangement between the grantee and the other tenant by the entirety whose rights in the tenancy cannot be severed. There is nothing in the laws of Massachusetts or New York to prevent one tenant by the entirety from conveying her own or his own interest in the property, subject to the continuing rights of the other. While it is generally believed that one tenant by the entirety cannot convey their interest because the tenancy cannot be severed, rather it is the survivorship rights of the other that cannot be severed. Thus, if a husband conveyed his interest in the property held as tenants by the entirety to his brother, the husband no longer owns an interest in the property. The brother takes his (the husband's) place within the tenancy. Here is the tricky part: if the wife dies then the husband's brother acquires all interest in the real estate. If the husband dies before the wife then it all goes to her free and clear and the husband's brother has nothing. Some conveyancers have treated deeds by one tenant by the entirety as null. However, such a deed conveys the interest of the grantor in the property subject to the survivorship rights of the other co-tenant. If you are selling property owned by tenants by the entirety, both parties must sign the deed.
Can you safely allow a live-in boyfriend and future husband to co-sign on the refinancing of an existing home equity loan without his having rights to the property at a later date?
In Florida the law states that if it was property titled to you beore marrage it is not part the marital estate. So if he helps finance the property and thenquit deeds his interest in the property tothe future bride to be, when they marry he is still not entitled to the property. If they divorce he is entitled to NOTHING because it was never part of the marital estate. And yes this held up in court for me :) * Yes, as long as the person's name is not on the title and the couple are not married.
You own a mortgage on a property and as a mother you want your daughter to possess it after your death but you have a husband whose name is not onthe deeds can you add your daughters name onthe deeds?
You can have an attorney draft a deed that will convey your property to yourself and your daughter as joint tenants with the right of survivorship. If you died the full ownership of the property would automatically pass to her with no need of probate. She would be responsible for paying any mortgage on the property. If you live in a community property state that may not be so easy. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options under your state laws. You should do this ASAP.

What happens if husband dies and house was under his name yet wife has a longstanding judgment against her. Does plaintiff with judgment against the wife get the property or does the wife get it?
If the wife has no interest in the property, meaning that her name was never on title, then she doesn't own it. If she doesn't own it...they cannot take the property away from her. I would reccomend a title search to make sure that she was never on any deeds. Good luck.
Can ex husband listed as survivor on deed keep property of ex wife that died intestate or does it go to next of kin It is not listed in probate?
In this state, the person on the deed gets the property if the husband is listed on the deed and the wife dies intestate. It does not usually even go through probate. That does not mean it never goes through probate. With this court system, anything is possible. It is still extremely unlikely the next of kin will get the property unless the husband is in prison for killing the wife.Another PerspectiveGenerally, if a husband and wife own property as tenants-by-the-entirety, a tenancy reserved for legally married couples, a divorce automatically changes that survivorship tenancy to a tenancy-in-common. In that case, the heirs at law of the EX-wife would inherit only her half-interest in the property. The EX-husband would retain his own one-half interest. If the property was held as joint tenants with the right of survivorship a divorce does not usually have any automatic affect on the joint tenancy and the surviving joint tenant will become the sole owner. In states where joint tenancies aren't affected by a divorce decree, the divorcing parties must break the joint tenancy by executing a new deed that creates a tenancy-in-common.Laws vary in every state on these types of issues. You should consult with an attorney in your state who can review the deeds and the situation and determine the outcome under your state laws.
