What happens to the house if I die?

Estate Planning lawyer at Christine Sabio Socrates Attorney at Law
If the house is solely in your husband's name then when you pass away the house will stay in his name. If he later passes away, the house would transfer to whoever he designates as a beneficiary on a transfer on death affidavit or who he names in his will.

What happens to the house if I die?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
If you transfer your house to your husband (which is what he's talking about don't focus on the loan, focus on the ownership; and remember, the lender will only write a loan for the person or people who own the house) nothing happens when you die, because you don't own the house any more. Your husband could write a will leaving the house to your sons; he could also change his will or sell the house after you die. I cannot imagine that there are savings so substantial from refinancing that it is worth taking this risk.
