Spouses sometimes convey property to each other during the marriage for various reasons.\u00a0 In some cases, those conveyances may become an issue if the couple divorces. In a recent case<\/a>, a former husband challenged the property division awarding the former wife two pieces of property, even though he had executed deeds conveying those properties to her.<\/p>\n

The wife petitioned for divorce in June 2021 after more than 14 years of marriage.\u00a0 She identified a home and a separate plot of land as her separate property.\u00a0 She presented copies of a Special Gift Warranty deed by which the husband\u2019s parents gifted the home to him, a later General Warranty deed by which the husband conveyed the home to the wife, a General Warranty Deed conveying the land to the husband, and a subsequent General Warranty deed conveying the land from the husband to the wife.\u00a0 She identified both properties as her separate property in her Initial Disclosures. The husband did not identify those properties as property he currently owned, separate property, or property against which he had a claim in his discovery responses.<\/p>\n

The wife moved for partial summary judgment, asking the court to hold that both properties were her separate properties. She alleged the husband received the home as a gift from his parents, and then conveyed it to her as her separate property. She alleged he bought the land during the marriage and signed a General Warranty Deed conveying it to her in 2020.\u00a0 She argued he conveyed his undivided one-half community interest in the land to her, raising the gift presumption.<\/p>\n
