What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Montana
My new husband and I have been living in a mobile home for 3 years, since 2013. He was in the property by himself for 14 months before I moved in, since 2012. 14 months before I moved in his previous girlfriend moved out. They had lived in the property together for about 2 years and were were making payment towards the purchase. Towards the end of their relationship she was unemployed and they took out a high interest loan in order that she could cover expenses. They also had conceived and had a child together. As her leaving was a surprise to him, he never thought to get anything in writing but rather agreed to her verbal terms. He would take over full payment of the loan (After interest about $9000 debt for him to pay off) and all house payments that would include lot rent, taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs etc. She would sign the title to the mobile home over to him once the trailer was paid off and the lein on her car ( used to secure the loan) was released. This verbal agreement took place around June of 2012. The mobile home was paid off in November of 2015 and the lein on her car was released in March of 2016. She is now refusing to sign the title to the mobile home over. I know that we will need to hire an attorney however, I would like an opinion as to the outcome of this going to court. We can prove that ALL payments were made directly to escrow, state, county etc. by us from our personal checking and credit accounts. She now says it's not fair that we will financially benefit from the sale of the property. She paid approximately 4000 total on the mobile home and nothing on the loan. We have paid over 17000 on the mobile home itself and the entire loan amount, 9000 for the car. Is this a winnable case? Thank you
