Description

In equity sharing both parties benefit from the relationship. Equity sharing, also known as housing equity partnership (HEP), gives a person the opportunity to purchase a home even if he cannot afford a mortgage on the whole of the current value. Often the remaining share is held by the house builder, property owner or a housing association. Both parties receive tax benefits. Another advantage is the return on investment for the investor, while for the occupier a home becomes readily available even when funds are insufficient.

Separate property in Washington may include: Gifts to only one spouse; Items purchased prior to marriage; and.

Property inherited by just one spouse or partner, but not the other (the inheritance is the recipient's separate property); rents, issues, and profits generated by separate property (which become the separate property of the spouse or partner whose separate property generated them);

In Washington, real property conveyed to a married person or a person in a registered domestic partnership is legally presumed to be community property. Exceptions to the rule include properties acquired as separate property by gift, bequest or by agreement (see Sole Ownership example 2 above).

In Washington, typically all property or assets that belong to a person are called “separate property.” You may carry separate property with you into a marriage, and anything that was yours before will still belong entirely to you afterwards.

For long-term marriages (over 25 years), the court will usually try to put both parties in an equal financial position for either the remainder of their lives or until both parties retire. The idea is that after 25 years, the parties should be recognized as financially equal partners.

Since Washington is a community property state, any property acquired during the marriage is generally owned by both spouses, even your bank account balances.

A defining feature of joint tenancy is the right of survivorship—if one owner dies, their share automatically passes to the surviving joint tenants, avoiding probate. In Washington, this can simplify the transfer of property between spouses or family members, especially for homes and real estate investments.

In Washington, typically all property or assets that belong to a person are called “separate property.” You may carry separate property with you into a marriage, and anything that was yours before will still belong entirely to you afterwards.
