Can common law marriage qualify me for social security benefits?
I lived with my husband begining June 1992 the marriage started in Washington D.C. and we stayed there 2 weeks and moved to his home in Maryland and and lived there until his death July 1995. We were not legally married until March 1995. We also spent a week in Alabama during this period of time however his divorce was not final until 1994 after I first moved to D.C. and after our trip to Alabama. He worked in D.C. and I worked on the outskirts and we were together at least once weekly in D.C. while we were living together until his death, and always held ourselves out as man and wife can common law and defacto marriage be used to establish common law marriage for at lease as year in order that I might qualify for his social security benefit?
Do both owners need to sign a lease agreement for rental property?
I currently own a house with my wife. It is marital property as it was acquired after we got married. We are moving out and I would like to rent the house. Do we both (my wife and I) need to sign the paper work to generate a legally binding contract with a tenant? Would one of the owners (either her or I) alone be able to rent the house to a qualified tenant without the other's signature?
What should my daughter know about her prenup signed without a lawyer?
My daughter signed a prenup and has no clue what it means. She had no lawyer. She signed it on Monday and marriage is Saturday. Jeff said he is actually being smart about this because IF he doesn't have it done, his father will cut him out of his will and that will leave us with no extra money when he does pass away. He said, when we sell this house and buy and new one, I
have 1/2 ownership to the new house, and anything we buy together from this point on, is 1/2 mine! As for the car, that is in his name, he told me he would never keep it from me if something horrible did happen, he would just make me take over the payments! This agreement just protects what he had before me, correct?
