My husband and I are purchasing a house from his parents. We've been paying them "mortgate" payments for 3 years now. We're in the process of having my Husband's name put on the deed with his mother. My name will not be on the deed. I asked my husband...what happens if something happens to you, I'll have no legal right to the house. He says I should have no rights to the house because his parents are giving HIM a gift (holding the mortgage and saving us the interest) not ME a gift. I work full time, I run my own business...I pay half the bills for the house, is it right that I have no legal right to the house if something happens to him? Also...what happens if we end up divorcing before the house is paid off, will I have no rights to it? We're basically redoing the entire house, gutting all the rooms and redoing them, If we divorce before the house is paid off, shouldn't I get something for all the $$ we put into improving the house? I don't think divorce will happen, but you never know. I'm more concerned about if something happens to him I don't want to lose the house, and all the time and $$ we put into it to make it nice.
Any advice/suggestions would be EXTREMELY appreciated. I don't want to be taken advantage of.
Thank you!!!
