| | | Will New Hubby Need to Put My Name on House Deed?
What is the name of your state? Ohio
Is it neccessary for my finace to put my name on the deed to his home or do I automatically become part owner once we are married? Are there legal benefits to having my name (or not) added to the deed? |

Anyway, if y'all get a loan on the house (for example) the lender may want you to sign the mortgage/deed of trust and/or promissory note even if your name is not on the title to the land.

there is no reason either legally or otherwise, for him to do so.

Although Ohio is an equitable distribution state, separate property remains his throughout the marriage unless somehow transferred to marital property by some means.
And even the commingling of separate property with other property of any type does not destroy the identity of the separate property as separate property, except when the separate property is not traceable.

BTW, isn't this something you should be discussing with hubby instead of on an internet forum?
