I live in New York.
I was married in a Luthern chruch by a practicing minister and have been living as husband and wife with my partner for over 10 years. However, we never obtained a marriage license nor filed any legal documents of any kind. I have two questions:
1) Are we considered to be legally married?
2) My sister and I want purchase a house for our mother. We will both be listed on the deed. Assuming we are legally married and were to divorce, would my wife have any legal claim or rights to this house?
