Additionally, this ensures that in the case of a divorce, the wife has undisputed rights to keep the property. Also, in the case of the husband having a high profile job (where he might get sued) the wife's property is more difficult to take away if he loses a suit.

There may be several reasons why the the property is in the wife's name. However, the bank had the husband execute the mortgage in case of any default. By having the husband sign the mortgage he is responsible for paying the note and a foreclosure would wipe out any interests he may have in the property.

Can you get a mortgage commitment before a title search?

Generally, the title examination isn't ordered until there has been mortgage commitment. The reason is that people (buyers) don't want to pay for a title examination if the mortgage isn't approved. However, some lenders give a preliminary commitment that depends on the title being free of defects. In that case they want the title report a couple of weeks before the closing is scheduled.

If your daughter gets a mortgage and puts my nmae on the title with hers can the mortgage company ask for balance in full because she changed the title?

If the mortgage was not taken out in both of your names, and your name was added after the mortgage closed and funded, yes, the lender may have cause to accelerate the loan and ask it to be paid off. The lender and the title agency asks for full disclosure as to who has interest into the property at the time the property is sold or taken a mortgage against. If your name was on the mortgage, and you signed the mortgage (perfected title) and the lender approved a new deed adding you to be simultaneously recorded with the mortgage, you are fine. If you are added after the fact, the terms of the loan may be subject to default.


Is it better to title a car in both names or in one for married couples if the loan is in both names?

It dekpends upon the laws of the state in which the married couple reside. In community property states all property acquired during marriage is considered jointly owned regardless of whether both or only one spouse's name is on the title or deed. If both spouse's are on the lending agreement it would be prudent for both to be listed on the title preferably with their names separated by "and" rather than "or".
