Should I add my bf to my property’s title ?

I wouldn’t unless you’ve been together at least 10 years but even then…

Consequences? Are you seriously that stupid?

No!

Add your husband or domestic partner, but not your boyfriend.

Hell to the No.

Never, ever...

Cheeses Christ O Mighty if you even bothered to google you would know this would be a huge mistake.

Stop wasting the time of the kind posters here, NOT being ironic.

You have no bf, nor property - based on the other 1000 stupid threads you've made up.

Only after marriage

No.

Size meat verificatia?

How can we possibly advise you without this critical information?

DON'T DO IT

Why would you be asking this on an anonymous message board? Pay a local lawyer $100 for advice.

I have a feeling she’s going to do it anyway. OP, you have been warned, hon.

Can I have your stuff instead?

R3, should I register with him as common-law partners first ?

Judge Judy hollers at couples who buy property together. Says they're just "playing house."

You didn't say why you want to do this OP. Because you want him to inherit the house if you die? There are better ways to do that than putting his name on the title. For example, putting the title to the house into a revocable trust, then spelling out your wishes who the house goes to in a notarized attachment. This attachment can be edited or shredded at any time without going through the process of re-titling the property. Putting someone else's name on the title limits your ability to get a home equity loan, selling your home, etc.

My ex is treating his significant other like a spouse in his Will. I told him he's just your current bf. If you love him then put a ring on it.

Yes. And not just that, but you should purchase a $5M double indemnity life insurance package, sign him as sole beneficiary, and then go on a cruise with him spending most of your time peering perilously over the railing...

IF you do add him, insist he sign a quit claim deed (to be filed at a later date if needed) at the same time.

If you purchase property by yourself, NEVER add someone else’s name to the title, not even a spouse, unless they pay you half the value. And even then, I’d have fourth thoughts.

Has he paid for part of it over a significant amount of tim…making payments, paying rent…that sort of thing? If the answer is yes, then absolutely.

The late Bishop Bullwinkle offers the best advice on this matter...

[quote]I wouldn’t unless you’ve been together at least 10 years but even then…

Yep. In another thread I said you should never buy property with someone unless you’re married or in a VERY long-term committed relationship, and there was some idiot who thought it was no big deal. I just thought good luck!

No. Unless he is also on the note, there is absolutely no reason. You can make provisions in your will if you want to transfer the deed upon death, or put the property in trust - talk to your lawyer and be clear about your goals - exactly why you want him to have property rights. The minute you add him, you can't do anything with the property without his consent - not refi - sell - rent - nothing - and if he isn't living there, he can actually sue you for rent.

Paying rent does not constitute entitlement to an ownership interest. Absurd. (But if he paid rent and you didn’t declare it as income, you could have issues on several levels)

Definitely! You won’t regret it.

Your property taxes may increase

If you add any person who is not your spouse or your child to your title, your property taxes might increase. Under existing law, the tax assessor has the right to adjust the value of your property and increase your property taxes whenever there is a change in the ownership of your property. You could end up paying hundreds of dollars more in property taxes each year.

Do not sign a deed to your house unless you are willing to give up your property forever. If someone wants you to sign any paper and you are not absolutely sure what it is, don’t sign until an attorney has reviewed it.

R27 I'm not sure what you mean - but if you are on the deed to a home, but do not live there, you have a right to collect rent from those who do.

Yes, OP. The cyanide, certainly.

Please.

My bf just came into my room and shook his fist at me. It turned me on!

OK, I’m confused. What’s the difference between a title and a deed? And if you have a mortgage on the house, does that make a difference on whether or not you have a title and/or deed?

A 75-year-old neighbor thought she was doing something good for her son by adding his name to the deed. The town revoked her Senior Citizen tax benefit. No longer sole owner.

Should I add my bf to my property's tittie?

NO.

As soon as he dies strangers will appear like cockroaches out of the woodwork demanding money.

I have seen it happen.

R33, they’re the same thing, with or without a mortgage.

r32 Your BF coming into your room and shaking his fist at you turned me on! I hope he gave you the rough edge of his tongue.

If you're that dumb to do so, then you deserve the consequences.

Better to leave it to him in a will, unless you think he will kill you for the house. Wills can be changed without his consent, titles can't.

Yes, OP, by all means leave your imaginary BF your imaginary house. Problem solved.

R29 That's a Calfornia Proposition 13 issue.

In any event, if there's a mortgage on the property, read it carefully first!

Absolutely not! Add me instead; you know where to reach me :)

It sounds like someone needs a palimony agreement!

Adding his name to title may trigger a transfer tax.

Unless you are an idiot. If your husband has lower income than you, a prenup is recommended

Slap his ass and tell him to get back in the bedroom

R20 , That was hilarious! You made my day. Thanks!

Adding a boyfriend to a property title is right up there on the same level of stupidity as adding a boyfriend to all your bank accounts.

NO NO NEVER !
