How you own it

A deed can only pass what you own, the way you own it. These answers decide who has to sign.

Who is named as the owner on your current deed?

Me alone Me and my husband or wife Me and my late husband or wife, who has died Me and someone other than my husband or wife A trust, or me as trustee An LLC, corporation or partnership Someone already has a life estate or remainder in it I'm not sure

Will each owner sign personally?

Yes No

Answer no if someone will sign for an owner under a power of attorney or as a guardian.

Does each owner understand what this deed does and want to sign it?

Yes No

The person signing must understand they are naming who receives the property at their death. If dementia or illness makes that uncertain, talk to an elder law attorney first.

Is there a mortgage or home equity loan on the property?

Yes No

Is any of it a reverse mortgage?

Yes No

Is any owner on Medicaid for nursing home or long-term care, or applying for it?

Yes No

Medicaid has its own rules about property transfers. We can't tell you how a deed affects an application.
