I bought the parcel of "landlocked" land next to my "significant other's property which we have been living on. Plans for marriage are not in the definite future, but I would like to be sure that in any event the land can be owned by him, or the owner of his property. But it behooves us not to merge the properties right now, since it would make the property tax of the main property go up signficantly. The tax on my bit of land is negligible while it is considered by itself (since you can't get to it from any road.)

Is a quitclaim deed, with a place for his signature kept open until he accepts the deed, an option? Can I put it with my legal papers and have it presented to him when I want, or when I die, for his signature? Does he have to be a part of this arrangement?

Thanks for any info you can give.

Thanks, Senior members

Thank you for quick answers, and I will certainly do this through a qualified attorney.
It's clearly shakey ground. That's what I wanted to know.

Best wishes, Susan
