Get me, posting in Legal matters. I feel so grown up!!
I'm buying a house with DP.
Due to me having crap credit DP is getting the mortgage out in just his name and I'm putting an inheritance towards the property.
Is pretty much 50/50. Inheritance is 85K and his mortgage is for 89K.
Today I got a letter from our solicitor asking me to sign papers stating I have no claim on the property and that I postpone any rights I have in favour of the lender.
Obviously I can't sign this.
I've read about 'joint beneficiary' purchases. Can we do this? Can we do this even though DP will have a mortgage?
I don't want to be in a situation where I could potentially lose my inheritance (not that I think it would happen), I want to be all snug and secure.
Is there any way around this??
Thanks!
