Can you buy a house but am not legally separated but have been separated for 5 years do you need a legal separation do get a mortgage in your name?

Whether you realize it or not, you may be dealing with two separate issues. One issue is can you get a mortgage based only on your income. The other issue involves legal ownership of the property. You may pay 100% of the value of the house but since you were not legally separated or divorced, your mate might be entitled to 50% of the value of the house when you sell. On the other hand, it is a number of years since I studied real estate law for this state. I imagine you should get the legal issues straightened out before you try to get the mortgage or at least check with the mortgage broker.
