Q: my boyfriend and I have 2 houses one on each name. how do we do a quit claim deed to the other person in case of death
We would like to put the home on both names but also make sure the home belongs to the other person in case of death to make sure nobody else can get the home
A: I recommend titling both properties in your name and your boyfriend's name as "joint tenants with rights of survivorship". You and he will need to execute new deeds for each property to effectuate this transfer.

A: Since you are not married, a Lady bird deed may be another good option.

A: You will want to create an appropriate deed that puts the property in both your names or into a deed that lets the other gain full rights upon one of you passing. I would strongly encourage you to consider proper estate planning in order to address this and or any other concerns as well related to your property and or estates.
