What is the name of your state? Nevada
I have been married for 3.5 years. 2 years ago, my husband and I bought a house. Because my credit had a blemish on it, we put it in his name only, so as not to jeopardize our loan approval/interest rate. The escrow company made me sign a quit claim deed. I asked them why, since Nevada is a community property state. They told me that since they do business in states which are not community property states, I had to sign it.
My question is: In the case of a divorce, is half the house mine, regardless of the fact that I signed a quit claim deed? Do I need to quit claim it again in order to have 1/2 interest in the house, or, because Nevada is a community state, it automatically is 1/2 mine and there would be no reason to quit claim it again?
Thanks for your help. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
