Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

Re: husband entitled

Given the very short set of facts you give, your home would be non-marital property and your future husband should NOT be entitled to a portion of it. HOWEVER, it is possible that he would be entitled to a portion of your home if it is converted to marital property. Many actions can take place to convert non-marital property to marital property, such as the husband contributing towards payments or you and your husband taking out a mortgage on the home to pay for marital property.

To most reliably ensure your husband would not take a portion of your home, I would recommend a pre-nuptial contract explicitly stating that your husband will not take a portion of home.
