I feel both names for couples who truly and sincerely love and trust each other. If the love is sincere and loyalty is there, both names simply strengthens the marriage, the more. That's what I will do, when the time comes to cross that bridge. And I believe my partner will feel same. 1 Like |

Evacroft:Things have really changed. Back in the days Mr and Mrs Eze means Eze and his wife so once the document contains Mr and Mrs it means that Eze and his own the property. If for any reason the man decides to bring in another wife then the first should go to court. It is that simple. Share the man's surname two of them dey share? Why she no carry her own full name make the man carry his own name? I think a husband and wife are one in the eye of the law? Aren't they? |

You people are not realistic. Why most men dont put their wives name on their property is because they fear in the event of death, she will remarry, another man will eat his labour and probably leave nothing for his kids. This being that most of the time 80% of the property is from the mans sweat. |

All my landed properties are bought in my name and my wife's, though I paid for them all. Her name is on receipts, deed of assignments etc and that's cos she's a great wife and partner and dont want anyone messing wifhmy family when I'm gone. However I always maintain a clause on all DOA which indicates me as the principal buyer with the right to relieve any other party/ co- owner of any rights to the property. Though I love my wife one has to be wise in case things go south Jayboi: 4 Likes |

donstan18:This sound like a voice from un enlightened soul.If you are married under the law and case goes to court weather the woman's name is on the document or not she is entitled to a share of the house if it goes pear shaped and if she has kids, they are entittled to stay in the house untill kids grow up.This is why its very important to register your marriage at the registry.When you are married your wife bears your full name by default.She is your Mrs. Beside you do not go into marriage with doubt or thought your marriage might brake up one day if you do then marriage is not for you! 2 Likes |

Nigerians won't kill me with laugh, Mr and Mrs is enough, then get your marriage registered it covers the date. If things go south, she have alot of right due to the time the marriage was registered and when property is acquired. Mrs 2 can assume property bought b4 she was married |

ladycomfort:Lol. At times men are scared o. What if the wife eliminates him and takes over everything. ![]() ![]() But in reality these days that monogamy is the norm, both should put their name on it. It encourages both to work hard towards a common goal. Properties are serious investment so not to be toyed with. Both should analyse it carefully. Some also put only names of their kids on it, if they have already completed their family. In some cases, if the worst should happen, the hubby's family can start dragging property with the wife and kids. A last will should sort that out. Never too early to make one. |

When it come down it, unless you guys signed a prenup, it does not matter whose name are on the documents. If the properties were acquired during the marriage, it is subject to equitable redistribution upon divorce, just get a good lawyer. Practically, the choice depends on, what you want to protect and exposure of each individual. Some couples transfer the property to the other, if one is too exposed to liabilities; this way if the chickens come home to rouse, the properties are out of reach. Some do it to reduce or eliminate estate taxes or to increase the leverage of one party. Bottomline, is if you aim is to keep the other away in the case of divorce, sign a prenup and don’t do statutory marriage; otherwise it does not matter whose name is on the documents. 2 Likes |
