His right depend on the laws where you reside and if you received a legal separation. Go to the land registry and get a copy of the application that was made to put his name on the deed. Speak with legal counsel as soon as possible.

Hi, LORRAINE A. Although you have been separated for two years, you don't explain if it is a legal separation or a verbal separation between the pair of you. First lets take the verbal separation. No matter how much time you have not been living together as husband and wife unfortunately, your husband can ask for 50% of what is in the house and sadley to say 50% of the house, it seems that on one hand your husband has been very clever. On the other hand he has been rather stupid as he would need your siginiture on the deeds to the house.
If you have been Legally seperated, your husband can not touch anything you buy after the seperation date which includes the house and again he would need your authurisation to have his name placed on the deeds of of the house, if you are legally seperated the only thing he can ask for is time with his son.
It is with great urgency that you contact the solicitor who dealt with the house for you, and ask him how your husbands name came to be on the deeds of the house. How did he know that you were buying the house? This needs to be done very quickly as not to let it get out of hand.
If your husband fraudently put his name on the deeds you must contact the police as this is a criminal offence, **** luck LORRAINE A

If your name is on the documents, then you have no problems.
This website might be able to answer some of your questions about the land registry. For a small fee, you can find out who owns property.

How can he put his name on the land registry for a property in your name that you bought? If that's true what's to stop anyone doing it to anyone else? Has he told you this or what?

where you legally separated or just an agreement ?
if it was an agreement only with the two of you & you are still married it would be easy for him to get his name on the registry.
you say its a council property if it was a house you both lived in & both got the right to buy option & its within the 3 years of you buying it , regardless of whos mortgage the right to buy was only valid for the both of you. & he can put his name on it.

You need to ask a lawyer. Find out how he was able to put his name on the land. I would take him to court to get his name off it and file for divorce while you are at it. Make copies of records from when you bought the place that shows his name was not on it when you bought it.

If you didn't sign a Quit Claim Deed to add him to title, then he has no right to title. That doesn't mean in the state where you live in that community property doesn't apply, he could still have marital right to it, but for the moment, if you didn't authorize his name to title, he forged it, and the person(s) who prepared the document can be held liable for damages. :)

technicaaly speaking,he has got no rights what so ever too the property if its all in your name,what you could do is go see the council or a solicitor and see what rights he has,but he cannot touch you over the house at all.good luck xxx

Get a solicitor, I think if you can prove that you have bought it all after the seperation then you stand a good chance or getting rid of him.
