I am searching for the proper forms to file in probate court to contest a will. I have been told I can file the forms for a small fee, but the forms are not available online nor at the court building. I spoke with an attorney whom will file them for thousands of dollars, but will not give me the name of the forms nor indicate where or how to obtain them. It would probably be helpful to know the numbers printed on the form. Knowing where and how to obtain them will be great.
I am married, but my wife is not in the country right now. What are my options so that I don’t have a problem getting the $8K tax credit?
Can I have the title only under my name, so that I wouldn’t need her to sign any papers or need to be present in the country? This is basically saying, I am married, but am getting the property under my name, but we both will be living together in the same house. I will also be filing as “Married, filing jointly”
This is the best available option, since she is out of the country and the nearest embassy is an overnight (12 hrs) travel. Since she cannot travel (unless it is an absolute necessity) as she has some conditions restricting her travel for another month, it will be good if she is not required to sign any papers.
Or now that, the minimum income to get the 8K tax credit has been increased to $125K, I would be falling under that, so, will I be able to get the property as single. I am not sure if that is legally correct, since I am married now and ofcourse will be married when I buy the property.
When I searched Internet for this, I was told by some people that, I can just have my name in the title and since my wife anyway has equal rights to the property, since it is a CA law, I shouldn’t have to bother to get her sign the quit claim deed. I don’t want her to give me a quit claim deed, unless there is no work around. Also, the other way is to get a power of attorney, which again is sort of not easy to get since that also needs to be notarized at the embassy which is far from where she lives now, as I said earlier.
Another potential complication is, she has never been to the USA, so, if I have her on the title, I wouldn’t be able to provide an I-94 form. I will be able to show her current and valid dependent visa status, but no other document. Would that be enough?
As for the mortgage, it is going to be going to be under my name only, since she doesn’t have a Social security number and will not be able to get a credit history for her to get a new line of credit for her.
Bottom line question is “Can a married man have only his name on the title, without having to provide any quit claim deed from the wife?”
My parents have divorced 12 years ago. In the divorce decree, my mom got the home. Currently both of their names are on the deed. How can I remove his name from the deed without having him sign a quit claim? What will happen if she dies before the names are changed? Would the ex husband reclaim the house?is that possible?
My ex-husband (Mike) is in a German prison for selling illegal drugs. His name is on the deed for our house in Aurora, Colorado. Mike has NEVER invested any money into the house (mortgage, repairs, NOTHING), his name is on the deed.I need to sell the house but Mike won’t turn the deed over in my name only. If he did turn the deed over to me alone the transaction would go smoothly. Thank you.
