<prompt> Human: I am lucky enough to live mortgage free inheritance and my partner owns a home with a partially paid off mortgage. We are planning on moving in together in my house in the next few months. How do I protect myself which still giving him equity in the home? Should he be paying half of the bills? Half of the property tax? Some sort of monthly payment of equity into the property? Does he give me the equity from selling his home and if so how do I deal with this wealth imbalance? I am nervous on how to proceed and obviously acknowledge this whole situation is the good kind to have. Thanks!  <response>: Boyfriends dont get equity!
