Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan

My brother in law got married after already owning a house, where just he was on the title. They have been married almost 8 years. Her name was never ADDED to the title. Does she have joint ownership just by the mere act of the marriage?

No, he would need to add her by a quit claim deed. If he died, she would have to go through probate court to obtain the house. Kliszlaw.com. Tim Klisz
