<prompt> Human: So my single, fifty-something year old uncle wants to buy a house under my name. He is paying it all up front so I wouldnt have any debt tied to my name. But what are some other downsides to this? What would I need to look out for in this situation?He is very close to me and my family and he has no one else other than my parents and my siblings and I. He told me the reason he wants to buy it under my name and not his and I would rather not share the details of that on the internet, but basically he isnt sure of his future or if he will live in the country for the rest of his life. I will say that I have no reason to believe he is trying to do anything shady to screw me over. I am hesitant however because there are probably a lot of factors that come into play when a house is tied to your name. Im young and havent owned a home or lived on my own before so Im ignorant as to the problems or responsibilities that come with owning a home. Would having the house under my name be a good thing or how badly could this screw me up? I should also say Im a student and Im only working part time so my income is very low.EDIT: The home would be a 60,000-70,000 dollar home. He has always been single with no children and does not have many expenses. He has been saving money for a long time so please dont think this is drug money or anything of that nature.EDIT2: If I do go through with this I would end up getting an attorney to make sure Im protected this post was just something to help me see things from another perspective. I assure you guys that the money is legal and this has more to do with my uncle being alone and having no other family. To me it seems like he wants to help me out and leave me something because he does not have much family. Thanks for all the replies.  <response>: Sounds like trouble. Avoid.
