Reply to comment by WheresTheSauce in Should my Fiancee and I both be on our mortgage if our payment can be lower if she's the only one on it? by WheresTheSauce

Dave Ramsey repeatedly told a story on his show of a fiancée losing her partner in a car accident right after they bought a house together but not yet married. So now she owns half the house with the other half belonging to the fiancé’s next of kin, his parents.

If you must buy a house with your partner right now just go get a marriage license first then hold your wedding/ceremony after. Or just buy it under one person’s name.

Couldn't that just be addressed with a will?

Or a tenancy in common contract. But if you’re going to draft up a will for this then why not just get a marriage certificate instead?
