My ex boyfriend who I am still married to (long story). Is buying a house in Georgia. I am not familiar with the real estate laws in GA. My question is am I legally bound to this house? Is Georgia a marriage state like FL? Meaning that even though its his house do I still have to sign off on it? Also divorce is not an option right now.
thanks

No you do not have to sign on the mortgage. By the way, you don't have to in FL either unless it is a refinance. In FL, you would have equal rights to a property that he bought and paid for, without any signature requirements from you, if you are legally married.
In GA, it is different. He buys it, you have no rights to it unless you are on the title of the property. Beware that many get this all confused, so if someone is asking you to sign something check your rights and responsibilities with both the lender and the title company. GA requires an attorney, so you get legal advice;whereas, FL only requires a notary to sign your mortgage.

individual B has no good to the residing house in any way. The belongings could be probated and the residing house could could be offered to pay off the loan. If there is not any will, the state you're in has rules related to who will inherit something left. If there are 2 toddlers, maximum probable they could get the soundness. money for the youngster who's a minor could probably could go right into a have faith till he or she is of age.
