Legal Question in Family Law in Maine

Re: real estate

The short answer is yes; a person may deed their interest in real property and they do not require an order to do so. However, having said that, the mere fact that the property has been deeded over to the wife does not mean that the property is non-marital. In a later divorce action, the husband is certain to assert that the property remains marital in nature and will request that the value be made a part of the joint assets.

Similarly, once a divorce has been filed, the parties are prohibited from deeding any rights to the real property without the consent of the other party.

I hope that answers your question, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
