It is estimated that unmarried buyers accounted for over 9 percent of residential property transfers in the first halfenCommunityServer 2008 SP2 (Build: 31106.96)http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/1272006_Unmarried_Homeowners.asp#8219Tue, 29 May 2007 11:00:00 GMT2bb7a989-b681-446d-a7f2-bd5f0562f228:8219TinaMy friend lived with a woman for 10 years in NJ and contributed his check to a joint checking account that she did not contribute to since she had her own account. She owned the house before he moved in. She was about to go into foreclosure and he paid to get her out. After 6 years she needed his credit to refinance &amp; put his name on the deed and mortgage. 4 years later she asked him to leave. He left with only his personal belongings. How would equitalbe distribution of property apply here?<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8219" width="1" height="1">http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/1272006_Unmarried_Homeowners.asp#8218Tue, 12 Dec 2006 13:00:00 GMT2bb7a989-b681-446d-a7f2-bd5f0562f228:8218anonymousA local county in my home town is trying to enforce a very out dated law. People must be of blood relation or adopted to occupy the same property that is zoned residential. The county has notified people living illegally that they need to move out. To my knowledge no one has left their property. People who have a live in care taker have also recieved notices. Real Estate agents have had to notify potential buyers of this issue thus loosing sales. The law was essablished in 1985.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8218" width="1" height="1">
