Do I inherit property after my husbands death if I have a quit claim deed for 50 in SC?

Answer 1

Answer  

A Quitclaim deed is not valid proof of ownership when property is subject to probate procedures.

The probate laws of the state in which the person dies and the laws concerning the way real property is held/titled determines ownership.

Property jointly titled on the original deed as belonging to \"husband and wife\" or Tenancy By The Entirety, or Joint Tenants, or Joint Tenants With The Right To Survivorship is not subject to probate and passes directly to the surviving spouse and/or named person(s).

Property owned solely or as Tenants-In-Common is subject to probate procedure and the partitioning thereof.
