If I unexpectantly die and my home is in my name only, not my husband's, can he have rights to our property? Will the lender automatically take the home since it is financed under me and he has signed a statement saying he has no rigths?
 
Q: If I unexpectantly die and my home is in my name only, not my husband's, can he have rights to our property?

A: He will (not "can") have rights to your property before and after your death. You should go to a lawyer and have the deed put in both names.


Q: Will the lender automatically take the home since it is financed under me and he has signed a statement saying he has no rigths?

A: There is nothing automatic in the law. If your husband keeps paying, I doubt that the creditor will care. Just make sure you fix it up where if you go first, that he gets it.
