We got married in 1996, both our second. She moved into my house which I bought and paid off over the years. In 20 of the 25 years, she worked and contributed to the household expenses and made it our home.
When we sold it 5 years ago to buy a smaller, one level home, the money from the sold home, which I basically contributed over the 20 years (the mortgage), went to buy the replacement, which cost about the same.
When we titled the replacement home, I had it put into both our names in Joint Tenants. She gets the house if I pass first and I get it if she goes first.
She's my wife and we made it a partnership all the way.
