Ownership Question with new home

That is a question best answered by an estate planning attorney. If you buy the new home after you are married it will be assumed by the state of Nevada to be joint property unless otherwise excluded legally. If he buys it before you are married then joint property rules get a bit more "debatable" should there be a divorce later. However, if you are both on title for 50/50 as you state above, yep, you both will have the same amount of "power" over the property.

yes you will have part ownership, but the financial responsibility and credit reporting will be in your finance's name, not yours if his name is on the loan/note. Regardless, the quit claim deed will show you have a legal agreement as far as ownership goes. view more at http://www.mortgagecrisistips.com for free mortgage tips.

If he purchases a home in his name it is his. If he then grants you a 50% interest in the home, then yes you would own half of it, but you would not be on the loan, which could cause problems if something happens to him before the wedding. As far as who has more power, generally, you both would have an equal say in what happens to the house, but if one of you wanted to sell, and the other didn't, the courts could force a sale. That doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
