Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

I bought a house with someone, with the agreement that I would pay all the down payment and escrow fees, the other person would get the loan in their name(since I didn't qualify because I had no credit), and after the sale was complete, my name would be added on the deed. Then, we would each pay half of the monthly mortgage payments and be equal owners.

I wired the money directly to the escrow company, but I had to include a letter designating that it was a gift from me to the other person.

The sale was completed, we occupied the house, and have each paid half the mortgage for one year.

Now, the other person refuses to put my name on the deed.

Can I sue that person for breach of contract? What can I do?

You must sue for fraud so as to allow evidence of the verbal contract. Contact me directly.
