The question
Own a rental home in Illinois. My wife wants me to sign over a quit deed to her so she can give the property to her son. Claims a lawyer friend in Illinois told her she would unquestionably be awarded that property in any divorce proceedings. I am on the deed and the mortgage. However, I am under the impression that in Florida, marital assets would be divided 50-50. According to my wife this whole mess might be avoided by an estate plan. She is also talking about a "post nuptial "agreement which I have never heard of.
