If he passes away before we are married, with or without a will... What are my rights to the property? Both our names are on the deed.
You did not give the exact granting clause. But I assume both of you are Tenants In Common of One/Half Undivided Interests each. Have a lawyer, even in OH look at the Deed and tell you what it says.

If the Officer saw you operate a vehicle while unlicensed, then it will be very difficult to get it dismissed.

Hire an attorney.
You should talk to an accountant- It is my understanding Federal and Tennessee law does not require an employer to pay mileage unless as a result an hourly employee will drop below the minimum wage.
