Answer:
Joint ownership of a house typically requires both names on the deed to be legally binding for all parties involved. If only one person is listed on the deed, they are the sole legal owner, which may not reflect the intentions of both parties. To ensure joint ownership that is recognized by all parties and third parties, it is essential to have a deed that includes both owners.
