Want to buy a house but don't want to lose it! Help!

[courtontherun]

Hey everyone, I have a sort of odd question. I recently inherited money and want to buy my first home. My girl freind/fiance lives with me and it would only stand to reason that she would expect to change that title. Without going into details that make no difference in the calculation. How can I buy a house without worrying about her getting it (or any of it) if we broke up in a few years? Is it as simple as just not marrying her? I would like to marry her but dont know if I'd bet my house we'd stay together.

I know this sounds cold and calculating, but when you hear stuff like "if we break up I wont get anything". In my opinon love and compassion (the same she has given me) is fair.

Thanks for reading my post.

Sounds to me like you already have doubts and fears -- if that's the case, then perhaps your relationship isn't that strong after all, and maybe you need to call it all off and find someone else.

On the flip-side, if you "think" it "might" work out, I strongly suggest you contact a good Attorney who has a "winning-in-court" track record and seek his / her advice.

Appreciate the advice,so there is no other way besides a prenup? Someone on another forum said I can make a trust and buy it in the trusts name. Does anyone here know more about that?

It sounds to me like you need some type of legal document releasing any current and future interest she may have in the property from her. Probably a good time to check with an attorney in your area.
