jew couple i know what is recently married. looked at the pub records. they bought a house and the deed is in the husband's name only. but the mortgage is in both their names.

for better or worse, i assume the deed is in his name bc his parents helped him with the down payment.

why she be on the mortgage tho? is this something the lenders require for a married couple? is he fucking her over? why would the bank even allow a debtor to NOT be on the deed?

im trying to figure out how. she has a baby and "works" 10 hrs a week at a minimum wage jewish job. it's not like she's paying off the mortgage with her income

in their county (in most counties/states too?), mortgages are public record and are searchable online. one can get a pdf of the promissory note

Definitely unusual. It’s probably pre-nup or estate planning reasons. It would make sense if she is much more wealthy than him and he gets the house in a divorce. Also could be the reverse if she has creditors but income necessary to qualify for the loan.

Did he own before the wedding? Same sitch for me, bought before I met my wife and her name got on the mortgage when we refinanced during covid.

nope, purchased after the marriage. this isnt a refi - original mortgage.

even for a refi, not sure why would the lender allow this

What's the downside to the lender for having the wife's name on the mortgage? They have one more person they can go after to get paid.

good point. i'm trying to see the other side. maybe it's harder to foreclose on the property if neither pay and she's not on the property? i dunno
