Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Missouri

Quit Claim

My soon-to-be ex has signed a Quit Claim Deed to turn our house over to me as part of a divorce/refinancing settlement. The language of the quit claim says that he will be ''excluded and forever barred'' from the property. Does this mean that if I choose to give the property back to him at some point or will the property to him in the event of my death that I cannot do that?

Re: Quit Claim

This is rather unusual language for a Quit Claim Deed, but generally I would answer your question "No." If, in fact, he transfers whatever legal interest he owns in the property to you, and you are the owner of the entire property, then you would be free to dispose of the property at any time, in any manner to whoever you want including your "soon to be ex."
