What are my rights if my name is not on a deed UK?
Even if your name is not on the title deeds, you automatically acquire occupancy rights to the family home when you get married or register a civil partnership. This means that neither of you can: force the other to leave without a court order.
What happens if my name is not on the mortgage?
The lender typically has a lien on the house, meaning that the spouse whose name is on the mortgage does not pay, then the bank can foreclose in order to get their money back. The bank cannot foreclose since you did not transfer your interest to the bank. This means that you still own your share of the home.
Is my wife entitled to half my house UK?
When you’re married you’re automatically entitled to a share of your partner’s assets. This means you have a legal right over the property, even if you’re not the legal owner. If you want to protect assets that you bring into the marriage, you should consider getting a Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement.
