When buying a house as a married couple, its generally advisable for both names to be on the deed. Here are some key reasons why: Ownership Rights: Having both names on the deed establishes legal ownership for both partners. This can prevent disputes in the event of a separation or divorce.
If the couple acquired as community property, they are joint owners and both must sign at closing. If they occupy the property then they also have to both sign because it is their homestead. Some owners will offer their prenuptial agreement for justification for why their spouse is not required to sign.
Can you get a home loan without your spouse? You can purchase a home and be the only person financially obligated. Your name can be the only person on the loan. However in Texas, your spouse will still be required to sign the security instrument at closing because Texas is a community property state.
By default, under the Texas Constitution, a married couple is assumed to own real property purchased during the marriage as community property without rights of survivorship. This makes them tenants in common, each owning one-half separately, rather than joint owners with rights of survivorship.
A general warranty deed must include the following to be valid: The name and address of the seller (called the grantor) The name and address of the buyer (called the grantee) A legal description of the property (found on the previous deed) A statement that the grantor is transferring the property to the grantee.
