Missouri Property Transfer Lawyer Working to Protect Your Interests
Transmutation occurs when one spouse adds the other spouse's name to a piece of property that was previously held in only the first spouse's name, such as a house. When the second spouse's name is added, it essentially transfers the property from the sole ownership of one spouse to the joint ownership of both spouses.
Once the property has been transmuted, it becomes a part of the marital estate in the eyes of the court. As a result, the spouses have a right to an equitable share of its value if the couple should ever divorce, even though one spouse may have paid for the property with personal funds. If you have concerns about transmuted property, you should seek the advice of a qualified St. Louis transmutation attorney.
