My Make family member is probably heading toward a divorce and I’m trying to understand how this might play out legally.
He owned his house for a few years before they got married, and it’s still in his name. The house isn’t fully paid off, but his wife has never really contributed to the mortgage or bills. Now that things are going south, he’s planning to ask her to sign some kind of agreement (maybe a trust or something similar) saying she has no claim to the house or his pre-marriage assets.
Shes probably not gonna sign. Where I come into play. If she doesn’t sign he wants me to buy the house from him and resell it to him in one year. He would continue to live there and pay the bills.
There would be legal documents that would “protect me”
Im a little sketched about the whole situation and don’t need anything making my life harder
