the end is near"I'm on board with flower Steph, I don't waste an argument anymore, I've done enough deals with enough Realtors that I don't need to "educate" them anymore, it's their fault not mine they don't know any better. caveat, when you do find a Realtor that at least understands and does what you ask them to do, consider an informal marriage.

If you are both vested in title to the real property, the owner of the real property, whom ever it may be, would bare the liability of the real property.The best defense against this liability is insurance first and then you could also look at vesting the property into a Limited Liability Corporation or similar as additional layers of liability protection.Another concept here which is being jumped over, if you are married your assets are joint by law through the marriage.

Turns out this "owner" has just been given their 10 days before the sheriff comes and before marriage (found the marriage record) she used to have the same last name.She also put a previous address that she claim to live at for 20 years but it was not the right address!
