If you and your so are getting a divorce, still really good friends, and have to move out asap: would you buy them a house?

In the terms that later on you can sign over the mortgage to the person.

Whether or not to buy a house for your soon-to-be ex-spouse is a personal decision that depends on a variety of factors, including your financial situation, your relationship with your ex-spouse, and your future plans and goals.

While it's certainly possible to buy a house for your ex-spouse and sign over the mortgage to them later, it's important to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits of this arrangement. On one hand, it could be a way to help your ex-spouse get settled in a new home quickly and easily, and to maintain a positive relationship with them during and after the divorce process. On the other hand, it could be a significant financial investment that could potentially impact your own financial stability and future goals.

Before making a decision, it may be helpful to consult with a financial advisor or attorney to fully understand the implications of buying a house for your ex-spouse, including tax implications, legal considerations, and potential risks. It's also important to have open and honest communication with your ex-spouse about your intentions and expectations, and to ensure that both parties are comfortable with the arrangement before moving forward.

Ultimately, the decision to buy a house for your ex-spouse is a personal one that depends on your individual circumstances and priorities. It's important to take time to reflect on your own needs and goals, and to make a decision that feels true to yourself and your values.

Great explanation

I would not buy them house and sign over the mortgage, there are a lot of lawyers fees, real estate fees etc., that you could not easily recoup.

I may consider letting them stay in my cottage on the property until they came up with a downpayment for their own place, but it would have to be amicable split.

Maybe give them 3-6 months worth of rent for their new apartment then theyre on their own

That would be nice. If you did get them a house and they can't take over the payments, now you have a house.

Depending on one's financial position, that would go without saying.
