<prompt> Human: Im buying a house for my wife and myself in Oregon. This is our first home. Due to her work being part-time, having no assets of her own, and having student loan debt, she would have only hurt me on a mortgage application, so I secured a mortgage by myself. Weve now signed all of the paperwork on the house and move in in three weeks! Were so excited!I told the title company I want her name on the title. The paperworks been done with her name to be included. I assumed I should include her on the title, and I told my wife I was doing that, but if I hadnt said anything she wouldnt have even known. Now Ive spoken with my coworker whos the sole mortgage applicant and sole person on his deed, and hes married. Is there any value to having a non-paying spouse on the title? Could this in any way be a liability for me? Does it even make a difference since were married anyway? What other implications does having my wife on the title carry?We have no kids and our relationship is pretty good. I dont foresee us getting divorced, but I have seen good couples fall apart.  <response>: She would get half anyway. Anything the estate gets, regardless of name, is joint owned. Some exceptions obviously. But house isnt one of them.
