Claiming that "borrowing a name to buy a house" is registered in the son's name, and agreeing to the daughter-in-law's name after marriage, who exactly does the house belong to at the time of divorce? This question involves a comprehensive consideration of property rights, family relations, and legal effect.
First of all, we should make it clear that the creation, alteration, transfer and extinction of immovable property rights shall be registered in accordance with the law. This means that the ownership of the house is usually based on registration. In this case, the house was originally registered in the name of his son Zhu, which constituted a preliminary determination of the property rights of the house.
However, Lu claimed that he was "borrowing his name to buy a house", that is, he actually contributed to the purchase of the house, but registered the property rights in his son's name. In this case, Lu needs to provide sufficient evidence to prove that there is an agreement and fact between him and Zhu to buy a house in his name. If Lu cannot provide sufficient evidence, then the ownership of the property will remain the status quo, that is, the house belongs to Zhu.
Next, let's consider the case of agreeing to the daughter-in-law's name after marriage. This is actually a partial gift of the property rights of the house by Zhu. Once the gift was completed and the property change was registered, the daughter-in-law Ji became the co-owner of the house. This means that even if Lu can prove the fact of buying a house in a borrowed name, she can only ask Zhu to perform the obligations agreed in the contract, and cannot directly ask Ji to return the property rights of the house based on the joint ownership.
Finally, in the event of a divorce, the ownership of the house will depend on the status of the registration of the title and the agreement between the parties. If the house is still registered in the names of Zhu and Ji, then they will be the legal co-owners of the house. If there is a dispute between the parties over the ownership of the house, it needs to be resolved through legal means.
In conclusion, the ownership of a home is a complex issue that involves many factors. When dealing with such issues, we need to comprehensively consider many aspects such as property rights registration, family relations, and legal effect in order to draw reasonable conclusions. At the same time, it also reminds everyone to clarify the ownership of property rights when buying a house to avoid unnecessary disputes.
