Can I buy a house jointly with my brother?

Yes. Many lenders allow two families to combine their respective incomes in order to jointly purchase a house. Both households will need to meet the minimum qualifying loan requirements, which may vary lender to lender. Lenders may also require both families to hold equal ownership rights of the house.

Why did my father transfer his home to my name?

Several years ago my mother passed and our family lawyers recommended that my father transfer their home (now his) into my name. He is in great heath, thankfully, but the idea was to protect the house should he need medical care in the future. A quit claim was done, filed and while he has life use the house has been “mine” since.

What did my father do to his house?

Just in the last decade the house has received a new roof, new windows, new siding, new furnace, a major kitchen remodel, a second floor that was gutted to studs and remodeled, etc. I can’t imagine my father has receipts for what is easily tens of thousands of dollars in improvements.

Is it wise to put a house in your son’s name?

Fortunately, you were wise not to put the house in both your son and daughter-in-law’s name. Housing insecurity is one of the most difficult things for any family to deal with, and you helped to bring more financial stability to the lives of your grandchildren.

When did my parents buy their parents home?

The house was held as ““joint tenants with right of survivorship” by my parents. I just want to clarify how I (when the time comes) would prove the cost of improvements. This is a home that was purchased in the late 1960’s for $20,000. Since that time basically every inch of the building has been updated.
