Can a 14 year old purchase a house. Like, it officialy be in their name and everything ?
Additional Details
the first answer confused me a little, like if iwanted to purchase a house with my own money, my parents would just have to co-sign or something like that?
Would I be the only one with rights to sell it ? |

You can own a home, but it will not be in the traditional manner, like you are probably thinking.
You cannot make contract until you are 18, so you cannot sign any documents related to obtaining the property. You also cannot obtain services such as utilities, etc.
The property could be obtained for you through a trust or a guardianship, where the trustee of the trust, or your legal guardian can sign all paperwork.
Laws will vary from state to state, and I must assume that if you have inherited a large sum of money, there has been an attorney retained, who can advise you on how to proceed. |

not alone, in trust for yes, or with parents for ownership to transfer if something unforseen happens. |

someone can transfer ownership to you, but I'm pretty sure that until you're 18, you can't enter into a legally binding contract |

You you can not sign a contract and can not buy or sell homes.
Your parents can a house in place of you and put a trust in your name, however you could not sell it until you come of age. |

Being 14, you can not legally sign a contract- so no. But it could be in a trust for which you are the beneficiary.
But you can't live there anyway, so wait until you are 18. |

Since you are a minor, you cannot legally enter into a contract on your own in the USA. |

I think the right answer is "No."
In California, all real estate contracts have to be in writing. A 14-year-old cannot sign a valid contract. (Gotta be 18) Thus I think a contract to purchase real property by a 14-year-old would be invalid.
Think of it this way- what if you wanted to sell me the house? If you're not 18, I'd not be confidant you had the ability to sell it.
It's not only the real property wrinkle, it's the whole notion of a legal child being able to sign a contract.
If you find a legal entity willing to act on your behalf, that's another matter. Parents are one option, a bank or attorney acting as trustor for the trustee (child) might work. Too many variables and unknowns at this point. Sorry. |

im 14 too. taken by the fact that u couldnt understand the first answer (niether could i) i would have to say no. Your 14 u cant live on your own anyway... |

"everythings liscious"

i would think no. but could be wrong. to buy a house, they would probably want to see a stable income (which i don't see how a 14 yr old is working that much), also base it on a credit report, and again, a 14 yr old probably doesn't have any established credit. I think you have to be at leat 18 also.
but like i said, i don't know. these are just my thoughts.
enjoy being young. finish school. being an adult sounds very exciting, but being a student is so much easier! i wish i could go back to high school, so i didn't have to work and pay bills and all that jazz that comes with adulthood |

Real estate could be in trust (you have a legal guardian who is effectively in charge of it for you until you are an adult). Alternatively, if you were an emancipated minor, you'd be given the rights to hold real estate. You probably wouldn't have that go through, however. |

No. It is legal for a minor to hold a contract. A mortgage is a contract. It would have to be in an adults name. |
