Not if the home is jointly titled and the other spouse/owner is not agreeable to the transfer/sale. Likewise, if the couple live in a community property state and the home was acquired during the marriage, then both of them have equal rights to the property even if only one person is named on the deed/title. Quit Claims are not the desirable method for transferring/selling of property as they can be easily disputed and they do not guarantee clear title to the person who is acquiring the real estate.

Yes, a spouse can quitclaim ownership of their unencumbered home to the other spouse while still married. This transfer would give the receiving spouse full ownership rights to the property. It is important to consult with a legal professional to ensure all necessary steps are taken and to understand any potential implications of such a transfer.

Can a joint property be seized for a judgment against only one spouse in the state of Texas Even though spouce signged quit claim deed before judgment?

In Texas, a joint property can still be seized for a judgment against one spouse, even if the other spouse signed a quit claim deed before the judgment. This is because Texas is a community property state, and joint assets are generally considered to be owned equally by both spouses regardless of individual financial obligations or actions such as signing a quit claim deed.


In India can a tenant stays in a rental house for more than 10 years. is he liable to claim that it his house?

In India, a tenant can stay in a rental house for more than 10 years, but he cannot claim ownership of the property solely based on tenure. The ownership of the property remains with the landlord unless a specific agreement or legal provision states otherwise. It is important to have a clear rental agreement to avoid any disputes over ownership rights in the future.


What rights do a surviving spouse have if not mentioned in the will?

The rights of a surviving spouse vary by jurisdiction, but generally include the right to claim a portion of the deceased spouse's estate, known as the "elective share." This ensures that the surviving spouse receives a minimum percentage of the estate, regardless of what is stated in the will. Additionally, the surviving spouse may also have the right to certain property or assets owned jointly with the deceased spouse. However, it's important to consult with a legal professional to understand the specific laws and rights applicable in your situation.

If one spouse's name is on the deed and mortgage does the other spouse have any rights of claim to the property?

If it's the primary residence, both spouses have equal rights of ownership regardless of whose name is on the deed or mortgage. Second homes or investment properties do not apply to this. The court assumes "tenants in common" ownership for any married couple regarding their primary residence. (there may be an exception in some states if the house was owned by one person before they got married, and now the spouse lives there too - ask a lawyer if that's the case)

How can i claim my husband as a dependent?

You don't claim a spouse as a dependent. If you are married you have only two option to legally file your taxes. These are Married Filing Joint and Married Filing Separately. Married Filing Jointly is where you file together and you don't file a spouse as a dependent but you still receive all benefits as if they were a dependent. You will get a higher Standard Deduction and get two exemptions plus any other dependents you may have. Married Filing Separately requires both of you to file the same way and each has to enter the other spouses social security number on their return. You can't file the spouse as a dependent this way.
