I know of a couple from Canada that lived together for more than 5 years, actually closer to 15 years. They were never married in Canada. There is no common law marriage where they live in Canada. Several years ago they came down to the DR and bought a vacation home where neither of them has spent more than a few weeks per year. The man purchased a house and had the title drawn up in only her name. Now this couple is no longer together. The question is this:
Is she the sole owner of the house and can she sell it anytime she wants to with only her signature?
The man insists that a Dominican lawyer told him that since they lived together in Canada for more than 5 years they both have to sign off on selling the house.
Is the man and his lawyer correct?
