We thought the quitclaim that I earlier signed would overrule the marital right. Also, not sure if it is TIC or joint tenancy. Would that make a difference? If so, how? Thanks. I’ll quit taking so much of your time. I really appreciate your considerable assistance!

My husband is in a partnership with his sister and her husband for their duplex. Before we married I signed a quitclaim deed to his portion if something should happen to him (it would go to them). Now that we are married he wants me to be beneficiary if he dies. Do all three of them need to sign a grant deed or can he just submit one signed by him only (and notorized). It would be for his portion of the partnership only.

Have the partnership agreement distribute his portion.

That why it’s globally fixed, just just this duplex.

Hi Chet, I must be dense but I am not sure what your message is suggesting. Sorry, and thanks for the prompt response!

If my wife is a member if a partnership, rather than changing every deed to add my name, I can just change the partnership agreement.

If this isn’t clear pls. drop me a note.

That makes sense. However, the reason for my question is because we assumed that all 3 partners needed to sign the grant deed. It has been impossible to arrange a time for the 3 to meet (may be due to actual schedule conflicts or dragging heels by other 2 partners since they stand to benefit if it is not changed). Will the grant deed (for my husband’s portion) be valid if he is the only partner that signs it? Thanks for all of your time and assistance!`

you may have marital right to it.

But if he is TIC each w/ a 1/3 interest, he can do what he wants w/ his 1/3.
