Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
property sale
I have a house under my former last name. Purchased when single. Is it legal to sell it to my now husband? and have him include me on the title? Reason; better deal in refinancing.

Yes, you can sell it to him if you wish. You can also do a transfer. If there is a mortgage on the house, you may need permission from the financial institution in advance. This would only effect the title and not obligation to pay.

Sure, you can transfer it to your husband. You may want to consult with an attorney before you do this, to make sure you understand what rights you would be giving up by doing this.
