The answer may vary depending on the laws of your specific state or country, but in general, taking an equity loan after marriage could result in the property becoming a marital asset. Even if the home was purchased before marriage and fully paid off, if the equity loan is taken out after marriage and both spouses are listed on the loan or the property title, it may be considered a joint marital asset. It's best to consult with a legal professional in your area who can advise you on the specific laws and regulations that apply to your situation.
