Husband says I’ve signed over the house to him without me knowing

[InternetSafe]

My husband often jokes that he has tricked me into signing the house over to him. He has said it for years. It’s really tedious but last night he said it again and added ‘check the deeds’. We paid off our home about 10 years ago and it is quite a valuable property for our area.

There have been occasions when I am busy working and he has put papers in front of me and asked me to sign so he can get them in the post (mainly to do with correspondence to our accountant for example).

But this is not possible surely? I mean as a married couple I am entitled to half anyway aren’t I? He is playing mind games with me and I’m not sure what to believe anymore

Well firstly I would check the deeds and see if he is telling the truth. If he is joking just tell him to stop being an idiot.

Why are you still married to this insufferable prick?

You can go and have a look on land registry website for a fee of £3

Jeez he sounds like a childish prick. Check the deeds.

You want to check the Land Registry which you can do for £3 I think

Yes I'd firstly check the deeds too, if you have signed it over you need legal advice.
Stop signing things without checking what they actually are.

He sounds incredibly irritating- not much of a joke is it?

I'm not a property lawyer but I think what you would need is a deed of severance to sever the joint tenancy which would mean you hold as tenants in common. Then someone needs to register the deed with the land registry. If he's done that then it's possible but it would be grounds for taking him to court of fraud as well as an obvious immediate reason to divorce him.

I really wouldn’t be signing without reading anything put in front of me by a man who regularly makes these punchline-free “jokes”.

Why haven't you checked the deeds?

Can you get hold of them?

He's telling you something very valuable about how he feels about you, your relationship, your possessions.

Even if he is “joking” ,I’d wonder what the fuck he was playing at. This is either a really weird power play, or your husband has committed fraud. Or both. He sounds like a right dysfunctional tit.

If he has done it go straight to a solicitor. It must be illegal, if you were 'a little old lady' and someone tricked you into signing over a house it would be a police matter and probably still should be in your case.

If you are married I'm not sure it is not a marital asset anyway. He sounds vile.

Well he has either done it or is planning to do it. No other reason to keep saying it.

Seems like a strange thing to "joke" about to me. As others have said, you really need to check the deeds and get legal advice if they have infact been changed.

Get on land reg asap! £3 later and that will confirm it.

He sounds like a twat who I wouldn't trust for a second. Check the deeds.

Check the deeds.

Stop signing things without reading them!

To echo others, why are you asking us - check for yourself.

Check the deeds.

Does this sound like something he would do?

Either way this is seriously messed up.

If he's "joking" and you are still tenants in common, what kind of fucking joke is that. Why even joke about it. I bet you anything this isn't the only bullshit mind game he is playing.

If he's not joking, then you've got a serious problem on your hands where he has tricked you into severing your joint ownership.

Check the deeds.

If he’s joking, tell him he’s a prick.

If he’s not, start recording when you ask him why and how he did it without your knowledge. Get an admission and save it. Save a backup. Save multiple backups.
That way he won’t be able to lie about it when you (hopefully) divorce him.

The house is still an asset of your marriage. You need to register your interest in the property so he can't sell it without you knowing.

He sounds awful, why would this even be funny? Its not a joke, does he like you to be a little unsettled, a bit in need?

@CoteDOpale secretly record him explaining how he did it.
