I own my home in Bergen County New Jersey. Can I pass ownership to my wife after I die using my deed? How is this done and does it avoid probate?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You can pass the title to your wife after you die if you both own the property as joint tenants with rights of survivorship.  It abbreviated JTWROS.  If a husband and wife own the property as JTWROS its as if together they own 100% of the property and if one dies, the survivor still owns 100%.  The property passes regardless of what the will says, and passes without probate.

I am 1/3 beneficiary to deceased Mother’s home.It sold and the executor is demanding by social by tomorrow.Must I give that to him?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
What is your "social"? Do you mean your social security number?  That seems unnecessary.  The title company handling the sale should simply issue a check in your name.  It could ask for your bank routing and account number and send a wire transfer or electronic check instead.  But no one needs to have your social security number to make a distribution of your share of the estate or to report that that has been done.  At most, the executor needs you to sign a Receipt and Release once you have received the funds and anything else due you from the estate.

In a life estate, can a lien be put on property in NJ by either the lending bank or the Condo Association?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Estate Planning lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
If there is a lien, for the foreclosure, the lien would be against the property, not against the holder of the life estate.  I'm not sure that answers the question.  The life estate does not protect the property from foreclosure
