Re: real estate
It is not likely.
First, it is presumed that the titled owner is the equitable owner of the home. To rebut that presumption, you would have to show that there was an contract, an agreement that you purchased the home together with the intent to share in its equity.
Your case hinges on the credibility of the testimony.
