Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Nevada
Right to property after signing quit claim deed
My husband and his best friend both live in Illinois and bought a home in Las Vegas as a vacation home. My husband was single, the best friend married. The best friends wife signed a quit claim deed so they could purchase the house leaving it to the person who lived the longest. The best friend has now died leaving it to my husband. The wife is now saying the quit claim doesnt mean anything because her husband somehow put some of her money into the house. Would this be true that if he indeed put some of her money in the house it would negate the quit claim? Please help. Thank you. The laws of which state apply?

No, the use of that money would not negate the joint tenancy.

Re: Right to property after signing quit claim deed
Hello. First of all the law of the State of
Nevada applies, in my opinion, because that is
where the real estate is located. Second, it
probably will be a real fight and your husband
and his friend should have had a much more detailed agreement in writing. Your husband should retain a Nevada attorney as soon as possible.
