FAQ
Two of the most common ways to transfer property in a divorce are through an interspousal transfer deed or quitclaim deed. When spouses own property together, but then one spouse executes an interspousal transfer or a quitclaim deed, this is known as transmutation.
In states like California and Florida, the spouses may use a quitclaim deed to transfer the property without warranting title. Other stateslike Texasrecognize a similar type of deed called a deed without warranty.
In California, all property bought during the marriage with income that was earned during the marriage is deemed "community property." The law implies that both spouses own this property equally, regardless of which name is on the title deed.
California married couples generally have three options to take title to their community (vs separate) property real estate: community property, joint tenancy or Community Property with Right of Survivorship. The latter coming into play in California July of 2001.
The term "less and except" often appears in a warranty deed to signify that a particular area of the real estate is not covered under the deed. In other words, that part of the property is excluded from the contract.
When it comes to reasons why you shouldn't add your new spouse to the Deed, the answer is simple divorce and equitable distribution. If you choose not to put your spouse on the Deed and the two of you divorce, the entire value of the home is not subject to equitable distribution.
It is also crucial that a spouse know about the loan, even if he or she is not on the mortgage. In general, the spouse must sign a deed of trust, the Truth in Lending and Right to Cancel documents. By signing these documents, they are simply acknowledging the existence of the mortgage.
In cases where a couple shares a home but only one spouse's name is on it, the home will not automatically pass to the surviving pass, if his or her name is not on the title.
