What is the name of your state? Idaho
On March 20th I was involved in a car accident. I had no insurance, we just couldn't afford it. My son and the other driver were killed. The other driver had two children with him who thankfully survived. I also was injured and am still in a wheelchair. The accident was my fault, I did not see a stop sign. No drugs, alcohol, or speeding was involved on either side. I learned today from the other family's insurance company that they have begun to seek legal council. I cannot blame them for that. My husband is very worried about the house. He and I are both on disability and have two other children at home. I know that we could lose everything. The guilt is eating me alive. My husband immediately went down and filed a homestead act, but is now talking about doing a quitclaim deed. He wants me to sign the house over to him. I told him that wouldn't work because this is a community property state and that if we were to do that we should sign it over to a family member. I have searched the internet for information, but am not getting very far. Can anyone offer me any advice in this matter. This is a horrible situation and I feel so badly for the other family, but I also have to think about mine. This house is all we have. Thank you for your time and patience.
