A local attorney can best answer this question, since there is no one answer to this question.

The answer depends on the state where you live and what action you plan to take based on your presumption of ownership.

Some states are community property states, so without a prenuptial agreement, it is possible that in a divorce, the condominium unit would be considered community property and you would own half of it.


However, in order to evidence your ownership in this case, either your name would be added to the deed, or the condominium unit would be sold and you would receive half the sale amount minus expenses of sale.


If you plan to borrow money and use your ownership share in this property as collateral, your name must be on the deed.


Insofar as condominium-ownership related, association business is concerned, such as voting, paying assessments and so forth, read your governing documents to learn about your rights and responsibilities. Without your name on the title to the real estate, your rights might be unclear, but your responsibilities as a resident will be clear.
