Legal Question in Real Estate Law in South Carolina

Real Estate
My girlfriend bought our house from me about 6 months ago. We are in the process of splitting up now. I lived in the house for 9 years before that. My name was on the title of the home until she bought it. DO I have any legal rights to the property now that her name is the only one on the title? Thanks for your help!!

Re: Real Estate

First of all, I no longer practice Family Law. So if there is any sort of a Common Law Marriage issue here, I do not have the experience to advise you and I suggest you speak with a Family Law attorney.

If your girlfriend's name is on the title, deed, loan, etc., then she owns it. You would not have any rights to the property simply because you lived there in the past.

The best thing you can do is call or go see an attorney who can ask you questions and get all the necessary details to advise you.

Good luck.

My main areas of practice are Criminal Defense, Personal Injury and Workers Compensation. My office is in Myrtle Beach and I accept cases anywhere in the state. If you or anyone you know should need an attorney in these areas, your are more than welcome to call of email me.
