To be annoyed that a joint house is not in my name

[stellavisionandunderstanding]

AIBU?

I sold my house in the UK and my husband and I bought a house together. We live abroad. His parents do everything and everything is passed by them. At the time I was focused on having our second child and before I knew it, his parents had taken him to an accountant to sort out the deeds and the paperwork.

I'm really cross about this as my rights by hanging my name on a house has been lost and this is not what I signed up to. I keep saying when do I sign something and then he finally told me what they'd gone and done.

He keeps saying we'll buy another flat in a few years and your name will be on it. It annoys me that this was done for tax reasons by his parents rather than protecting the right I had. I'd like to go back and do further study and now I can't show evidence for local frees rather than international. Please tell me I'm being unreasonable!

Stop prevaricating, just get a UK solicitor to sort it out because if you lose your contribution the tax or not won't make a blind bit of difference. Also, ask about getting a legal charge put on the property so it can't be sold against your wishes unless the amount owed is repaid. Do it now.

You need to consult a solicitor - we can't advise you, we're mums on the net, by and large... ;-) Please, seek legal advice as soon as you can.

@Randomness - I agree with this comment , you need legal advice, especially if your contribution was substantial. DH sounds as if his parents control his life, not help, but control which is wrong now that he has a family

Please seek advice and do not let this go by. You have rights and they have been violated. I understand the tax issues as we have to deal with dual national taxation on our home. We saw a lawyer and the first thing they said was that I must have my name on the home for my own protection. This nothing about your husband, his family and tax. This is about you and your children and your long term security. Please step up and do not be bullied into anything. Get your own lawyer and protect yourself.

No mortgage, owned it for twenty years

@Hillary4

You don’t even need a Solicitor for that! Form AP1, TR1 and relevant fee to your district Land Registry.

All you would need to decide is whether you want to hold the property as tenants in common or joint tenants.

... also you’d need a land charges search and bankruptcy search that you can get the Land Registry to do.

Who is living in the house at the moment?

I'm confused why his parents were involved. Why would you not do this yourself? To be honest, I would get my name put on the deeds. If DH starts being silly, you need to seek legal advice. Learn the lesson, though. You should have been involved in the registration yourself.

Tax saving or not, you are a couple, a team and he and his parents have treated you like a stupid little girl.
How dare they make decisions about your money and your future without consulting you? Perhaps it is kosher and a good move to save stamp duty but it was your decision to make.
This is massively disrespectful. You need to get advice and then sit down with all three and get them to explain exactly what they have done with your half and why.
The involvement if your in laws in every aspect if your private business us not acceptable.
