Reply to comment by alomagicat in Have you recently had your formstone painted? How much did it cost? by ThisAmericanSatire

Any particular reason behind that?

I’m assuming because if you break up who gets the house? There aren’t the legal protections/procedures for mortgage and ownership like in a marriage. If one of you up and leaves can the other cover the total mortgage? Things like that.

Oh, I thought you/they were going to say some Baltimore/Maryland-specific reason.

We already discussed that possibility and we came to an agreement as to how we'd handle a breakup.

We're also planning to get our wills made soon and, at that point, may just have a contract drawn up that formalizes the percentage each of us owns.

Oh, you’re right I forgot. In Baltimore, MD specifically if you break up John Waters decides who gets the house and the one who doesn’t has to move to the Eastern Shore.

I know this is offtopic to form stone, but make sure to have independent lawyers assist each of you separately. That’s essentially a prenup.
