wirey_coyote | Girlfriend on house title? |
after living with my GF for 3 years she now wants to share ownership of our house by having her name on the deed 50/50 - but I bought it with my money and pay the mortgage with my money.
is this a good idea? |

Based on the limited details of your post...Nope...it's your house...you bought and you pay the mortgage on it.... |

No, no, no. Don't you ever listen to Judge Judy? Never put anyone on the title unless you are married. If and when you break up, you will have a messy lawsuit on your hands and you could lose everything. |

No.
It is your house. |

Unless married no not a good idea she then owns 1/2 of your property and has power over you, way to much power without the responsibility that goes with it, or ownership, If she wants her name on the title it should also be on the mortgage. In other words the responsibility for the payments also, otherwise you are in a position to get screwed big time. Although together 3 years it is still just a girlfriend and we all know how those relationships can change and if it does you will have no legal recourse. DO NOT DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!! |

nope, your not married so it can only cause problems if you were to break up. |

This is about the worst move you can make. It's your house and you paid for it. If this relationship goes sour, you will have more problems than you can handle if you place her name on the deed.
Keep things as they are. If she balks and threatens to move out if you do not succumb to her demands, open the door for her and help her carry her suitcases to the curb. |

No. if you ever broke up, it could get very messy. you could lose your house and all the money you put into it. tell her that it will cost a lot of money to change the paperwork. and if you guys move to a new house then you will put both your names on there then. |

Nope, because if you ever break up and never get married, here is what you face:
1. She owns 50% of the equity....the moment she goes on title.
2. She can take you to court to force the sale of the home, if you don't have the money to "buy out" her 50% share of the equity.
3. Courts DO NOT treat it the same as a husband/wife because you are not married....they treat it as a business arrangement.
Keep her as a "roommate"....that would be the most foolish thing you could do, is to add her.
If she puts up the argument, "Well, I pay half the utilities, half the mortgage, etc"....tell her, "How much would you be paying in rent if you lived by yourself."

Well, since you've been living together for so long you're considered common-law; meaning that if something happened between the two of you, she can legally claim some ownership of the home anyway. But since you pay the mortgage and bought the house yourself, I would keep the home 100% in your name.
Besides, If the two of you end up getting married and want to buy another home together; then both of your names can be on the mortgage - and, if she hasn't owned another home before, it would qualify her to receive the first-time homeowner grant (Or whatever the equivalent of that is where you live.) Which would not be the case if she is granted part ownership of your home.
But the fact alone, that she does not contribute to the mortgage means, In my opinion, that the home should stay in your name. |

BAD BAD Idea. I owned my home for over 25 years and I put my new wife on the title within two years she put a restraining order on me got me out of my own home and tried to take it all in a divorce. It took me 9 months with her and her boyfriend living in my home and 6K in lawyers fee to get the BIT*H out. |

I wouldn't do it. Then if you split up, you owe her half a house. Why don't you get married? If you're not committed to a relationship to marry her, you're not committed enough to own property together. If something happens to her, her relatives will want her share of the house...not really the house but the money. You could be forced to sell to pay them off...this would depend on how the title is held. Nope, I wouldn't do it.
Just a side bar...don't lie to her. It wouldn't cost a lot of money, so don't tell her that. It would cost a little money to grant a special warranty deed giving her an equal share. And lying is always bad for a relationship. Tell her you don't want to do it. In order to get her name on the mortgage, you'd have to refinance. You can't just add someone. Now that can cost a lot of money (or not so much depending on the lender and where you live) and her credit an income will have to be adequate. You could wind up with a higher interest rate. |

No. why would you give away half the house and keep 100% of the debt? If she wants to pay you 50% of your down payment and the costs of refinancing the mortgage under both names, it's an idea but you have to look at whether this is a long term relationship. If you actually do something like this, be sure you have a written agreement in place covering what happens if you break up because it will be just likea divorce but without (hopefully) the court involvement. |

That depends on how strong your relationship is and what state you reside in. She is considered your common law wife already in many states.
Also if either of you have children from previous marriages and no will, then a fight could ensue with divorce or untimely death of either one of you. If she is on the deed, then she is entitled to 50% or more of the sale proceeds down the road. It is a lot to consider.
Consider too, if you were in an argument with her once she is on the deed, the cops will most likely tell you to leave, not her and if she is co-owner, she could change the locks and you could loose it all. |

Don't know what her spending habits are - but consider if she should have a judgment of some type put against her. You could be putting your home in jeopardy because of it. |
