Your reputed husband died but before he hired someone to modify the property deed unknown to you. Can you lose your property which was held with him as JTWROS?
It is unknown what you mean by your "reputed" husband. Either you were legally married or you weren't. The law differs in different jurisdictions. You need to invest in a consultation with an attorney who specializes in property and probate law who can review the title to your property and determine if your husband could sever the tenancy under the laws in your state. In some jurisdictions one joint tenant with the right of survivorship can sever the survivorship of the other by executing a deed either to a third party, or through a straw, eventually receiving the interest back in a tenancy in common. That would sever your survivorship rights and you would only own a half interest in the property. Some jurisdictions prohibit a spouse from conveying their interest in a JTWROS unless their spouse signs their consent. You need to obtain expert legal advice for your particular situation as soon as possible.
After 28 years your partner went to live with his daughter because of age problems. You own property as joint tenants and pay all the bills. What are your rights?
You have the right to the use and possession of the property. However, you can't sell or mortgage it without your partner's signature. When your partner dies his interest in the property will pass automatically to you by right of survivorship with no need of probate. Your best bet would be to just continue to pay the bills for your home, remain silent and let nature take its course. A joint tenant can convey their interest in the property and break the joint tenancy. If your partner executed a deed to someone else in his family now, the survivorship tenancy would be severed and you would only own a half interest in the property. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your position.
Who is JTWROS and Why are They Listed on My Account Statement?
Oftentimes account statements you receive from your bank or brokerage may have the abbreviation JTWROS on them. What does this strange string of letters mean to you? Often shown in its abbreviated format, JTWROS, or Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship is a legal way to hold real property in which ownership is shared by two or more people. Each party, called a joint tenant, enjoys equal rights to the property. That's what the joint tenants part of JTWROS means. Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship can be used in the case of unmarried or married couples. Some assets that are typically held by way of JTWROS include primary residences and bank or brokerage accounts. Sometimes business partners will hold their business property as Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship. What happens when one of the joint tenants dies? That's where the right of survivorship comes into play. Upon the death of one of the joint tenants, the ownership of property passes directly to the other joint tenant(s), regardless of any conflicting instructions for distribution of that property in the decedent's will. So using Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship to hold property keeps the property out of the estate of a deceased joint tenant, though estate and/or gift taxes may apply. But make sure you understand this point; liabilities attached to a property held Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship (like a mortgage on a home) continue to be attached to that property and become the responsibility of the surviving joint tenants. Unless ownership is reregistered differently, property held Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship passes to the estate of the last surviving joint tenant. So the next time you see these letters listed somewhere you'll know what they mean and if someone asks you how you want to register the ownership of an account you may be a little bit more prepared.
How can you add someone to your property deed without having your property taxes reassessed?
Almost every answer in the law section should begin with "It depends on what state you are in," and this one is no different. Most states (or counties) do not automatically reassess property values when property is transferred. Actually, most counties only have the resources to perform an individual assessment of propery when it gets improved (you get a building permit) or when there is a special need (like if you file a dispute over the value of property) Your property will probably be reassessed with everone else's property every few years (5-8) when there is a county wide assessment. So the answer is that you probably won't cause your property to be reassessed by transferring it to someone else.
