Last year I had the the task of resolving and disolving a relationship which after several years of cohabitating, had included the purchase of house and property. Since the total down payment had come from me, I had my lawyer do the paperwork to set the title straight. He warned me that when it comes to realestate and other major joint possesions, that you are better off being married, as the legal hastles involved in resolving disputes of unmarried partners, gets more complicated. He also told me that I was real lucky that my ex-partner did not contest my right to said property. He had a legal right to do so if he wished. Look before you leep......
