Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Quick claim deed after marriage to spouse
My husband and I were married in Fl. in 1995. He had taken out a mortgage the same day for a house in his name only. I was worried that if he died, I would not be the owner of the house. So we did a quick claim deed to my name only. The house is now paid for, 12 years later, and now we really want it back in BOTH of our names. What do we do?

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
The way to accomplish your goal is to have a Quit Claim Deed from yourself to yourself and your husband prepared and recorded in the public records of the county in which the property is located. You can prepare it yourself but to ensure it is done properly, it would be better to have an attorney prepare and record it for you.
