Q: In florida deed both mine and bf name he needs consent to sell the property correct ?? Also he wants put it in a trust
Or will he be able to put in a irrevocable trust in his name only we not married ??
A: You each own a one-half interest in the whole property. He will need your consent to sell the property. If he wants to sell it and you do not, he can force the sale through a partition action in court. He and you will need an attorney for that. He can only put his one-half interest in the trust unless you agree to also put your one-half interest in the trust. Schedule a free consultation to confirm all of the details before moving forward.
