We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Do I need to add my wife to my house deed?

Only if both names are on the deed. The owner of the property is the one whos name is on the deed. While most matrimonial properties are jointly owned, it is not uncommon to have only one name listed, which make that one person eligible to make a sole based decision regarding the property.

What is a joint warranty deed?

Typically associated with real estate, joint tenancy warranty deeds are used when two or more parties come together simultaneously to take ownership of a property. The most common example of this type of deed is for unmarried couples buying a property together.

Does my wife need to be on the deed in Illinois?

A spouse cannot sell a home their spouse is living in (the homestead). Selling a homestead will require a court order from an Illinois divorce court. If both spouses are not on the deed and the property is not a homestead, the owner spouse can do whatever they want with the property in their name.

What happens if your spouse dies and your name isnt on the deed?

In many cases, the spouse can inherit your house even if their name was not on the deed. This is because of how the probate process works. When someone dies intestate, their surviving spouse is the first one who gets a chance to file a petition with the court that would initiate administration of the estate.

What happens if two people are on the deed?

Generally, if there are two names on the deed and the deed does not describe how the property is owned, the default is that it is owned as tenants in common if the co-owners are not spouses and tenancy by the entirety if they are.

How do I add my wife to my warranty deed?

The simplest way to add a spouse to a deed is through a quitclaim deed. This type of deed transfers whatever ownership rights you have so that you and your spouse now become joint owners. No title search or complex transaction is necessary. The deed will list you as the grantor and you and your spouse as grantees.

What are my rights if my name is not on the deed?

In community property states, such as California, if you acquired your home while you are married, the value of your home is equally shared between you and your spouse, whether your name is on the deed or not. This is the default situation and prevents one spouse from losing the home in the event of a divorce.

What are my rights if my name is not on a deed but married in Illinois?

What happens if you are married and the house is not in your name in Illinois? Even if the marital home is not in your name, it will still likely be considered marital property. It depends on the circumstances, but if both parties put money and effort into the house, they both deserve some of what its worth.
