[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone was congratulatory and proud of 40-something family member for settling down and buying a home. Turns out from public records that their SO actually bought it and is the only one on title. Why would someone lie about something like that? Would your opinion of this person change?[/quote]

If you look up my house in the property database for DC I am the only one listed as the owner even though my husband is a co-owner and also on the mortgage.  [/quote]

Interesting. Do property tax assessments come addressed to both of you or just to you?  I'm the one who mentioned that my name isn't listed as a seller on the county website property search.  But I definitely owned that house and the property tax bill always came to us in both of our names plus, before the sale, my name was listed as a co-owner of the property.

It's water under the bridge now, the check from the sale came to both of us (we're now married) and we put the money towards a down payment on our current home. It was just odd to see myself no longer mentioned on the ownership listing on the county website.  I had owned (and paid taxes) on that property for nearly 20 years before we sold it.

I guess the lesson is - you can't always go by what the website says.  [/quote]
