Co-owning property can feel like a practical solution, whether it is family inheritance, investment opportunities, or helping someone buy a home. But when the co-owner is not your spouse, you are stepping outside the legal “default rules” that typically protect married couples. That means more risk, more potential conflict, and more need for planning. In this episode, we walk through six of the most common co-ownership scenarios and highlight what can go wrong and how to think ahead.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
🏠 Co-ownership turns you into business partners
⚖️ Ownership structure matters more than you think
💥 Disagreements can lead to forced sales
👨👩👧 Adding someone to a deed has major consequences
❤️ Good intentions don’t prevent bad outcomes
