sunshine | Does my sister have a right to the home? |
I have a house that my sister and I are on title. She has not made a mortgage or tax payment for the length of ownership. My name is on the loan alone. Now she is claiming that it is her house because her name is on title. Does she legally have a right? |
 |

Yes, she has the exact same legal rights to the house as you do. Her name is on the title, which means she is a co-owner. The house belongs to BOTH of you. She has 50% and you have 50%.
Why on earth you would choose to pay 100% of the cost when you only own 50% is a question only you can answer.
Since you have paid all the expenses, you can hire a lawyer to work out a compensation of less than 50% for her when you sell the house. |

She owns half. It doesn't matter if she's never made a payment. SHE is correct.
in order to get her off you'd have to 'pay her off" and get her to sign off on the deed. |

She has 50% ownership. If you alone were going to own the house, why did you put her name on the deed?
If you took it to court, I'd bet you would get all you paid in mortgage back from a sale, but any profit would be split 50/50.
The whole point of having a name on a deed is to have a legal right to the property.
If you wanted to sell the house and she wanted to stay, she would have to buy you out of your half of the house - i.e. pay you half the current fair market value of the house. The guy above me has some great info. |

It doesnt matter if she hasnt paid anything on the property or not. If her name is on the title she has claim to her part in it. |

If the property is titled as a joint tenancy (usually btw spouses and has rights of survivorship) or a tenancy-in-common (usually btw unrelated owners and does not necceraily have rights of survivorship unless otherwise specified), you have a share in the property.
Since you are the maker on the note, if the property goes into default, then the bank can also have recourse agst you as the co-owner and borrower. Better watch out! |
|

Yes, she has an undivided 50% interest in the property. If you are on the deed as Joint Tenants, you BOTH must agree to sell or encumber (finance or refinance) the property.
The name on the loan doesn't matter. She IS responsible for one-half of the property taxes though you may not have much luck forcing her to pay that. |

Yes she does a have a legal right to the house but what you can do is say look I'm making the pay ments your not. If I start paying only half then we'll lose the house. May be your sister can't take care of herself and your like a parent to her so your going to have to set her straight.Since the loan is in your name and half the house is in her name then you can tell her look I'm making the payments if you can't afford your half and because your causing me to many problems I'm going to fore close on you and hold you legally responsible for the pay ments you missed and if you go to a lawyer they will take what ever profits you'll make. Your going to have figure out what to do real fast since the loan is in you name and only half of the house. She might be immature and doesn't understand the dilemma she could be in if she tries to sell out. If she can't meet up with half the pay ments She'll lose everything real fast but she can't sell out from under you since you have to sign the real estate papers. May be you can afford a lawyer to see what you can do and tell her look you can't take of you self and I have to protect the both of us from you or neither one will have a place to live if you do some thing stupid like trying to sell it. I don't think she'll last very long on her own |

Yes, the real question is how did you get a loan for it without her being on the loan if she is on the title. The title (deed) is the ownership NOT the loan or who makes the payment |

|
