When we got married, I bought the house outright with my savings prior marriage and put it in both names as a married couple would.
A few years later, we were thinking of building our own, I bought a site outright with my savings prior marriage and put it in both names but didn't go ahead and build on it.
after a couple of years, my spouse inherited about 3 acres and decided to build a house for holidays, etc. It was put in their name due to planning restrictions on having to be from area and so planning was issued and deeds were in their name, it was mentioned that I would be put on it. I do know that my name on the banks mortgage papers to get tax relief!
Any advice what may happen or doesn't it matter whose names are on deeds but that everything has to be taken into account?
