Q: My husband asked me to sign "Interspousal Grant Deed" for a house he bought, signing it means I have no rights on this h
house while we are in our marriage or even we want to get divorce . am I right?
we have been married for 7 years.
there is morgage at this house
we were married when he bought it
Thanks
A: If the house was purchased during the marriage it is community property. Putting his own name on title doesn't change that. If you sign an interspousal grant deed and you understand its meaning, then yes, the result is that the property is no longer community property to be divided in the event of a divorce. If you have a problem with that DON'T SIGN the Deed.
A:
Why should you sign? You are potentially giving up your rights to community property, which does not matter as long as you are happily married. But..... Signing the deed is not the ultimate proof but it could make asserting your CP rights more difficult.
