If your name is not on the deed do you have a share in the property?
Toni1953
Yes. If you are on the deed and also signed the mortgage you are the co-owner and you have the right to the use and possession of the property. You are also responsible for paying the mortgage in full if the person you "co-signed" for stops paying it.

∙ 11y agoIf your name is not on the deed, whether or not you have an interest in the property depends on a number of things. It depends on your relationship to the owner, how the property was obtained, when the property was obtained, and under what name the property was obtained.
If you live in a community property state, you are a married woman, and your husband bought a piece of property in his name after you were married, then you own a share of the property. If your husband owned a piece of property when he married you, you do not own that property, but you may have certain rights concerning it. If your husband buys a piece of property in partnership with someone else, you have no share in it. If your husband owns a corporation and it buys a piece of property, you have no share in it. Other states may or may not have different rules depending on the state. In fact, some rules are quite convoluted.
If you are not legally married then you have no interest in the property. In separate property states, unless there is a death or divorce, even if you are legally married, you have no interest in the property. In that case your spouse could sell it and keep the proceeds. Your spouse may also be able to leave it to someone else by will or transfer it to a trust to place it out of your reach . . . in some states.
State laws vary on this issue.

∙ 14y agoIf the owner of the property died and left the property to you in their will their estate must be probated in order for the title to the property to pass to you legally. Once the will has been probated you are the owner of the property. A deed is not necessary. However, if you wish to have the property transferred to yourself by a deed you could arrange to have the attorney who handled the estate draft a deed for you.
