Quit Form

When my husband and I bought a house, he put the house under his name and I burned a waiver ... Now I wonder if I have any rights at home if we were to get a divorcea

Dower rights are rights that any married couple has an interest in each others' property regardless of how property is titled as they are still married. I've never heard of a married person signing a deed unless they were in the process of a divorce or transfer ownership to another party, they were not married. So I wonder if you're wrong on the form that you signed. When couples separate, they are no longer maintain the shared interest / ownership rights if the house is not listed in your part of the division of property, you will have no right to property.

It depends on the laws of your state. if you're in a community property state, you have rights to property, unless you signed a waiver indicating that he bought with his strict segregated funds, do not you want the title, and you specifically waive all rights to the property. Quit claim deed does not replace, especially if it is the house where you lived both. if it was an investment, the rules are not as hard and fast.

But many states are very dark on this subject. It is best to talk to a lawyer familiar with family law and real estate in your area. They will be able to tell you how it will work for you. Although we all hate, repeatedly talking to a lawyer before doing something can save you thousands.

I wish you good luck

Generally no, unless you can prove you signed the form under duress. If a lawyer witness your signature, it is likely that you have given your interest in the property.

I have a client who receives a proxy so that her husband does not know what the cost of the house will be. Frankly, I think it is not wise, but apparently it's legal.
