Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

Will or Quickclaim Deed

Married & live in home which was his prior to our marriage.(mortgage w/ins. in his name only) Question: if something should ever happen to him, would property go directly to me? or stipulation in a will needed?, would Mtg. ins. still satisfy note and can mtg co take back home? or would a qc deed protect home better? Can his ex w/child (bitter&greedy) come after the property? We would like to know the best way to protect this property. Please advise the best scenerio. Thank you.

Re: Will or Quickclaim Deed

You need to contact a real estate/probate attorney in your area. The deed needs to be changed so as properly to name you as a "joint tenant with rights of survivorship". Also, his will needs to name you as beneficiary. This should solve most of your questions; however, you should consult with a local attorney. If you are in the Atlanta area, please feel free to call.
