Do both husband and wife have to be on mortgage?
Using a spouse as a co-borrower can help to make any of these factors better, such as increasing the total income. On the other hand, your spouse might hurt your chances of approval if she has a low credit score or a lot of debt. There’s no requirement that the mortgage be in both married names.
Does a wife automatically inherit?
If you prepare a last will and testament, you can name your spouse so they inherit probate assets when you die. Some states’ laws provide that a surviving spouse automatically inherits all of the assets whether or not the couple had children together.
Can you add someone to a deed if there is a mortgage?
Yes, you can add your partner to your property title to make you the joint owners of the property but they need to have an interest or share in the property. The existing loan may also need to reflect this new ownership structure, which means that the loan may need to be refinanced.
