I am living with someone and he just bought a house.he had his son and my name put on the quit claim deed.his sons name is first and mine is second.if something was to happen to him would his son have more rights than me since his name is first on the deed.
You need to know what type of vesting to title you have chosen to take. If you have joint tenants, then when person dies, their interest in the home transfers to the other owner. If you have tenants in common, then your interest would transfer to your heirs. Pull your records and see how you took title.
Welcome migirl,
As far as I can understand, both of you will be considered as the legal owners of the property and will have equal rights to the property. However, to be on the safer side, I will suggest you to contact a real estate attorney and take his opinion in this regard.
