My boyfiend just brought a house, and he asked me to move in with him.?
If we split up what are my legal rights? He doesn't want me to pay any mortgage, he said half the bills and food. what are my legal rights?
                     
 




Landlord
You have the same legal rights as any other friend, absolutely none. He bought the house, it it his.

Even after you marry him only 1/2 of the equity after your marriage will be yours, not 1/2 of the house.

I'm sure glad you're not my girlfriend. And I'm REAL GLAD I'm not married to you.

Thank you God.

tell him first you need a wedding ring

Just look around - most people I know that "shacked up" end up splitting on bad terms. You might want to rethink the whole idea.

Legal rights to the house???

None, his name is on the deed, not yours.

To the house, none. Without a lease he could ask you to leave at any point.

Zip Why would you thing you are entitled to anything?
Pay him reasonable rent, not necessarily half the mortgage. If you want any rights to the house, you will have to have a legal agreement.

Two fold. On the one hand if you move out, you are NOT on the mortgage paperwork, so if he collapses & forecloses you will not be attached to it or affected by your credit.


However, if you stay several years, help him out with bills, and then break up & move, you've assisted him in paying for the place, yet walk away with no vested interest in the home, while he remains 100% owner. (This changes by state, as some states with 7 or so years of living together you become "common-law marraige" Essentially married according to the law.


I wouldn't worry about the business or legal rights side of things, you can always ask him later about it. Worry about right now, how long have you been dating him, and are you ready to move in with him. Also, how old are you. If your younger, I'd suggest you've been with him longer (2 years or so). Moving in changes ALOT of things in a relationship, be sure you're ready, and if not, don't worry about it. He shouldn't have bought the house if he needed someone to help with the bills.

you have no legal rights sweetie...

what exactly are you expecting or looking for? that's his house and the deed is in his name

if you all were to split then you gotta pack up and leave; even if you pay part of the mortgage you still not entitled to anything

The only legal right you will have is establishing residency there. All that means is he will have to give you 30 days notice to get out. He owns the house and you will be a resident there. You would have more rights if you paid rent and signed a lease!! If he was serious about you, I would think he would have asked you to marry him and the two of you look for a house together. To me, he has a temporary situation in mind!

Under that arrangement, you have no legal rights. What rights are you expecting?

You would have no legal rights to the property since you are not a party to the mortgage contract. See the attached article on other financial considerations for unmarried couples.

I would advise maintaining a separate residence on your own until the relationship becomes more serious. As we say in Wisconsin, "Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free?".

both of you should sit down and write this down. what he asks of you in terms of contribution to the household, and what he will provide. also write that you agree that value of living in the house is being given to you, but that you have no vested interest in the property.also, you may want to add to list who owns what in the house, and when purchases are made for furniture etc, to whom they will belong and who is paying for them.
just get it in writing, both sign and file it safely away. simple.

You really need to check the laws in your state. In many states, common law marriages have been abolished. Common law marriage means two people are not married but have lived together long enough, usually a year or more, that the home becomes what is known as community property. If your state has no common law marriages, then you would never have any rights to the house if you never married.
As far as bills go, you would have to keep receipts or canceled checks bearing your name to prove that you paid them. Otherwise, he could say that you lived there the entire time and paid nothing.


Leo F
You have none. Depending on what state you live in, if you live in WA everthing he has prior to marriage belongs to him and him only and same with you, Everthing you buy or earn after marriage you would own 50% of. You sound like my ex-wife, she tried to take my house that I have owned for 20 years after 2 years of marriage and she got a big fat 0.


Betty D
if he evicted you, you'd have 30 days to move out. honestly if you like him enough I would do it, and get on birth control if you're not already. lots of hanky panky when you live together


Rudy L
First of all, what does it say about your relationship that the first thing you think of is "what are your legal rights". If he asks you to pay part of the bills, I am sure you would have some legal recourse, but unless you are married, you will receive nothing at the end. Some states recognize a long term relationship as "common law marriage" Here in the state of Louisiana I think if you have been together for seven years you have the same legal rights as any bride as far as compensation of divorce.

i don't think you have any legal rights if the house is in name..

I think you have to be married legally.. or living together as common law.. before you have a right to half of his stuff...

Here are your rights:

You have no more rights than that of a common tenant that is renting.

That is the difference between living together and being married...married people enjoy legal rights that live-in's don't have.

You cannot "gain" ownership to the house just because you pay the bills...even if you pay ALL of the bills, if the house isn't in your name or your name is not on the mortgage.

He has to give you a 30-day notice of when to vacate, just like any other landlord.

Just remember, you don't gain ownership to a rental property just by paying rent...this is the same thing. The court does not recognize live-in rights because there are none.
