Its like a marriage, so you need to be really compatible.

@Shannon Elam welcome to BPCongrats on upcoming marriage

I think the most likely heir is the stepson, unless the son had kids or he remarried or he has some other kids from another marriage.

no. i have never been there. it's probably about an hour from me. i tend to do what the guru's advice.... stay in an area where i know. and i literally buy about 1-2 mile radius and know those 4-5 sub divisions like the back of my hand. i do my own repair calls, so going there would be a drain on my marriage. :)

I've been studying REI in one way or another since '05 - ready to actually apply the knowledge now and grow my business.In the last couple of years, I've also come to the realization with my marriage, the birth of one kid, and another soon on the way, that this whole "life" experience will end someday and I'd like to enjoy it as much as possible with my growing family.

Partnerships are like a marriage: easy to say "I do" but much more complicated if and when you decide "I don't".

I'm also in Germantown and have been here since 1986 except a few years early in marriage in Colorado.

My wife purchased a house prior to our marriage which is an FHA loan.

I am only suggesting that by virtue of your failed marriage you are already partners in this property and your sighing over your interest to him only gives him absolute control of an asset that will have the potential to put you both further in debt and your only protection is an unsecured promise to hold you harmless.

That is not a happy marriage.
