Can Boyfriend legally get money off my sale of the house?

Hi we moved to FL in Aug 2021. He gave me 20k to put down on the house. I put down the other 120k. He’s not on the title or the loan. Does he have the legal right to any proceeds from the sale?

Best to talk with an attorney, I cant give you legal advise. In the past, I had a client in similar situation and it was understood that the unmarried partner had no right to any proceeds. Ethically it would seem appropriate to reimburse the gifted monies being $20,000. Just one opinion.

Hi Erika, that’s a question for an attorney. I am happy to refer a few to you if you need one.

  • If I sell my home, will my boyfriend receive part of the sale?

    I wanted some clarification before deciding to put my home on the market. My boyfriend and I purchased a home together several years ago. We split up so he signed a quitclaim deed but is obviously still on the loan. If I want to sell my home that I have been making payments on myself for the last 8 years. Does he need to sign anything and would he be entitled to any of the sale money?
