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.
