Re: Real Estate/Separation
The answer to your question raises a few questions:
Did you contribute to the purchase of the home? if not, was it an intended gift?
Did you contribute to the payment of the mortgage?
The answers to these questions, will impact your rights. Assuming you contributed to the purchase of the home and you contributed to payment of the mortgage, you are entitled to half-equity in the home, subject to some rules of allocation under MA law.
If you would like to discuss this in more detail, please feel free to contact me by telephone.
