House purchased with inherited money.

If you want your husband to legally give up any possible claim he might have to the home, you need to get a post-nuptial agreement in which he waives not only any right to the home during your lifetime, such as if you and he divorce, and in which he waives any interest he would have in the home either as your heir. He should also waive any right to make a year's support claim against your estate. A letter signed by him would not be legally binding, and he can't disclaim a right to home now because he doesn't have one yet under the facts as you state them. You should also ensure that your Will is currently in effect. If you married after you wrote the existing Will, then your marriage may have negatively affected the validity of the Will. The fact that the Will states the house is purchased with inherited funds does not matter: that is an issue only in a divorce, not at your death, under Georgia law. Over time, you will likely end up using "marital" assets to pay for things related to the house. In addition, appreciation in its value can be marital property. However, again, the concept of marital property does not apply in Georgia unless the couple is actually getting a divorce. At death, "marital" and "separate" property are meaningless concepts. However, a well-drafted post-nuptial agreement under which your husband waives rights to the house either during your lifetime or after your death would be your best protection. And to make that protection even stronger, have your Will reviewed and updated by a good estate planning attorney. Tips for getting a post-nuptial agreement: Ideally, both of you should have separate attorneys. You cannot use the same attorney; the attorney can represent only one person. If the other person is not represented, however, it creates a greater risk that the post-nuptial agreement won't be respected. So you should each get a good family law attorney and negotiate the agreement, and then get it signed and in place. Then, you need to get a good estate planning attorney and have the attorney help you ensure that your estate plan will work the way you want it to work at your death, whether your husband survives you or not. Best wishes to you.
